“Better than a time-machine, McAuley takes readers on an exclusive guided tour of Leningrad in the 1960s and up to present day StPetersburg. In this elegy for a city, the friendships she forged across fifty plus years lie at the heart of a nuanced, intimate, and serious portrait of Russians living through tumultuous times.” —Kathleen E. Smith, Georgetown University
“McAuley provides an engaging introduction to everyday life in Leningrad/St. Petersburg since World War II.” —Emily Johnson, University of Oklahoma
