I loved this book! I‘m absolutely fascinated by Soviet history & was interesting to learn how ordinary people were affected. I love anything Australia & was excited that this book takes place there! I really loved the characters, especially Galina. You rooted for her as she adjusted to becoming an Australian. The setting of the 1980s was fascinating w/ the AIDS epidemic & Soviet Union. 4.5 stars. I would read another book by the author!

I think this would be a great book club book, there is soo much to talk about. Set in the mid 1980‘s from varying perspectives. I really enjoyed this book.
