A great ending elevates a stodgy and repetitive middle section. Also couldn't help but shake the feeling that Leo and Kira weren't the most intriguing of characters. Andrei's moral dilemma and his awareness of the corruption and the tyranny that engulfs his party is a more compelling subplot. Nonetheless, it sometimes works as a powerful commentary on a system that has no interest in people like them.

A beautifully written short novel that examines the unreliability of memory. It is a unique piece of writing because it deftly portrays how a clear memory can become shrouded by imagination. One incident can change someones perspective and narrative.

I would have loved to have seen the Chaplin version of Waiting for Godot.
