Kate Mulgrew gives this captivating memoir by one of Russia's most celebrated authors a plaintive, intelligent, and witty delivery.

But soon her lifestyle was diminished when her family members were deemed enemies of the state and killed. The plucky young woman emerged from years of deprivation to hard-earned success as a writer. Mulgrew delivers the Russian names and locations flawlessly and brings the author's sharp wit and vivid memories to life. This audiobook is a rewarding listening experience.
