Makine's most ambitious, complex, and uncompromising work is a three-generation epic set against the wide canvas of Russia's turbulent last eighty years, from Czarist times to the fall of Communism.
We follow Nicholas, the protagonist's grandfather, from the brutal battle between the Reds and the Whites in the 1920s to the moment when Pavel, his grandson, is recruited by the KGB as a spy. In this "unpausable" audiobook, the reader is swept into a Graham Greene-style thriller that opens up like a sinister Russian doll.
Genre: Literary Fiction
