Boris Akunin recommends
The Incredible Events in Women's Cell Number 3 (2023)
Kira Yarmysh
"Centuries pass, generations change, but novels about prison and jail, freedom and captivity, are still being published in Russia. The Incredible Events in Women's Cell Number 3 is as timely as Maxim Gorky's Hours Spent in Prison, but a much livelier read!"
