The Vanishing Futurist by Charlotte Hobson
When twenty-two-year-old Gerty Freely travels to Russia to work as a governess in early 1914, she has no idea of the vast political upheavals ahead. In 1917, revolution sweeps away the Moscow Gerty knew. The middle classes are fleeing the country, but she stays, throwing herself into an experiment in communal living led by Slavkin.
Charlotte Hobson's first book, Black Earth City, won a Somerset Maugham Award and was shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize and the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. She lives in Cornwall with her husband, the writer Philip Marsden, and their two children.
