[ 3.0 stars ] "I love a complicated book, and even more so, complicated characters. This book has been all over the place in recommendations for literary fiction, so I thought it would be an excellent read.Russia is a favorite locale for me in books, so I was prepared to love this. At most, I'm ambivalent. First, the character of Aleksandr is completely improbable and somewhat obnoxious. I felt no sense ..." Courtesy by Amazon
