Walter Present‘s is a global streaming service (part of All4 in the UK) that showcase award winning foreign drama; this is the second book they have released in association with Pushkin Press (the third ‘The Ghost of Frederic Chopin‘ is due for publication in May 2021). The films and dramas I have watched have been excellency, as was the first book.
