By weaving history and anecdotes to create a picture of Russia’s cultural center, McAuley underscores the impact of time and place on the Russian intelligentsia who lived through the transition from Soviet to post-Soviet life. The result is a remarkable group portrait of a generation.

Trade Review
“Better than a time-machine, McAuley takes readers on an exclusive guided tour of Leningrad in the 1960s and up to present day St. Petersburg. In this elegy for a city, the friendships she forged across fifty plus years lie at the heart of a nuanced, intimate, and serious portrait of Russians living through tumultuous times.” —Kathleen E. Smith, Georgetown University

“McAuley provides an engaging introduction to everyday life in Leningrad/St. Petersburg since World War II.” —Emily Johnson, University of Oklahoma
