Maria Kuznetsova recommends
Your Presence Is Mandatory (2024)
Sasha Vasilyuk
"This novel is a masterful exploration of the weight of secrets, generational divides, war trauma, and the search for home and belonging within one's own homeland-a subject that feels more urgent than ever. Your Presence Is Mandatory should be mandatory reading for this time of crisis."
My Mother's Secret (2022)
Alina Adams
"My Mother's Secret by Alina Adams is a page-turner that has it all: a compelling mystery, sharp insights into Soviet history, a sense of humor, and a complicated and fascinating cast of characters to boot."
By Any Other Name (2022)
Lauren Kate
"By Any Other Name is impossible to put down or to forget. A sharp, moving, and hilarious love story, it feels like being in the company of a close friend."
