Midnight in Siberia by David Greene
Written by NPR's former Moscow bureau chief, Midnight in Siberia captures an overlooked, idiosyncratic Russia in the age of Putin.
Glowing in its profound affection for the Russian people* Kirkus Reviews *
Thought-provoking… Despite the poverty and repression he frequently encounters, Greene remains optimistic throughout his travels, and he reproduces the source of this conviction in this collection of vignettes. * Publishers Weekly *
A diligent reporter and an appreciative guest. * The New York Times *
His account is breezy and readable, a snapshot into a country that people write encyclopedias about. * The Washington Post *
Greene comes out his journey (broken by many stops, some in one-horse towns) with stories of suffering, enduring, and eccentric characters, especially women, and thus builds a picture of a stoic provincial Russian to contrast with the vicious hedonism of the Moscow to which he was posted… this is an amiable and readable account. * TLS *
A humorous guide… [Greene's] enthusiasm, and thirst for adventure, shines through as the train trundles into forests, past cities and through the long nights. * The Good Book Guide *
A very readable, illuminating and insightful account. * Mainstream, Christian Journal *
This is a book that widens your horizons and emphasises the true hopeful spirit of human nature. An extraordinary and satisfying read. * Yorkshire Gazette *
Midnight in Siberia is a breezy, fun travelogue. * The Big Issue *
