It is a tale of love, murder, revolution, and betrayal. In 1980, Anna, an American college student journeys to the Soviet Union to confront her family\u2019s past. As Anna dodges date rapists, KGB agents, and smooth-talking marketeers while navigating an alien culture for the first time, she must come to terms with the aspects of the past that haunt her own life.<\/p>\n

With its insight into the everyday rhythms of an almost forgotten way of life behind Brezhnev\u2019s Soviet Union, \u201cForget Russia\u201d is a disquieting multi-generational epic about coming of age, forgotten history, and the loss of innocence in all of its forms.<\/p>\n

Advance Praise for Forget Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOne by one, Anna will lift the tops from the Russian dolls starting from the original tragedy\u2014the murder of her great-grandmother Zlata during a pogrom-to shed light on the destiny of three generations of women \u2026 In this dazzling choral novel, woven together over almost eighty years, the great grand-daughter triumphs in the challenge to reunite her family forever, calming their hearts beyond the centuries,\u201d said Maia Brami, author of \u201cAll Yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
