Summary:
Robert Littell's masterful
Mother
Russia
transports readers back in time and behind the Iron Curtain to experience the extremes of Soviet society. Robespierre Pravdin is a black marketeer who prowls Moscow's streets and alleys hustling wristwatches. Wishing only to survive in a city suffocated by paranoia and schizophrenia, Robespierre manages to make a tidy profit and stay under the state's radar-until, one day, he meets the woman called "
Mother
Russia
" and becomes ensnared in the Byzantine and profoundly dangerous game of politics.
