As a child of the 80s, I have watched a lot more movies than read book set #backntheUSSR. (Anyone remember White Nights?)
But I heard an interview with this author on NPR years ago, and was intrigued. It seems to be part coming-of-age, part food memoir by a woman who grew up in Communist Russian in the 60s and 70s.
(Sorry for the blurry image - took it from The Telegraph. Nicer than US cover and I liked the subtitle.) #rockinmay @cinfhen
