“Forget Russia, tells the tale of family, lineage, and sorrows that carry over generations and cross continents. As Anna, an American study-abroad student, visits Brezhnev’s Soviet Russia, the land of her great grandmother Zlata’s brutal rape and murder in a pogrom in the early century, she seeks something of that lost past. Bordetsky-Williams has brought to life indelible histories, from the village of Gornostaypol in 1917 Revolutionary Russia, to 1930s Leningrad, to Moscow in 1980.”
