"Spellbinding...a family history, focusing on the author's grandparents who fled with their young sons from the Russian Revolution . . . But this is more than a family memoir. It's a meditation on rootlessness and belonging, and on the ambivalent feelings we all have about the lost past and about our forbears. Not to be missed." --Victoria Glendinning, Vogue
"An exemplary Russian performance." --Bruce Chatwin
"The Russian Album is a work of such evocative power that the story of one family will speak volumes to many." --Maclean's

"This beautifully written book . . . is about tenderness, courage, and a sublime life-force." --The Observer (London)
Winner of the Royal Society of Literature Award
