About this product

Product Information

Black Earth City is a portrait of a love affair, a city, and a society in the throes of transition. ..It is 1991 and the dismantling of the Soviet Union is underway. The KGB are looting state assets, the Southern borders are breaking up into small-scale wars and the shops that winter are empty. At first little of this is apparent in the conservative and secluded atmosphere of Voronezh, but as the year progresses a sense of light-headedness, part fear, part exhilaration, pervades the community. In quick and elegant prose Charlotte Hobson captures the lives of her young contemporaries - Yegor, and his brutal memories of military service; Zossya, stoking the boiler of a house for deaf and dumb people; Sasha, blowing a million roubles of the Salvation Army's money on a taxi to Minsk to see a girl. For these young Russians, the only way out is often death or the oblivion of drugs. At the end of the year, nothing can ever be the same again.
