Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

A dark dystopian novel on the shadows of the fertility market and the condition of women in Soviet and post-Soviet countries, evidencing the cynicism, the exploitaiton, the lack of opportunities and the need to do anything to survive. Also a pacy thriller and noir highlighting the lawlessness and gangsterism that accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union, anda wider commentary on the dark side of politics, deeply enmeshed with criminality.

Excellent premises, very interesting plot, interesting complex characters who can be good and villainous at the same time and excellent character exploration adn really engaging overall, brilliant in the way that the female theme mixes with noir elements. There are dystopian elements, too, but they are not too far from reality, and this makes it all the more compelling. I am so glad I read it and will try to read more from this author. 4.5
