Moscow Dreams

"Moscow Dreams by Julia Gousseva is one of the most captivating and engaging books I have read in some time."
--ChristophFischerBooks, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer

"The constant theme that is running through this novel is 'change.' Frightening, yet exciting change, with absolutely no guarantees for the future, that can be experienced only by those who lived through turbulent times. There is a constant metaphor for this 'change' in the form of a colorful, sacred Tibetan sand, that Marina's father brought for her from one of his overseas expeditions, that runs through the story and neatly loops into itself at the end."
--Oleg Medvedkov, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer

"The descriptions are utterly honest, drawn faithfully and in precise, authentic detail, all of which builds our trust in the writing. Through the observant eyes of this sharp-minded girl, we become witnesses to an increasingly turbulent time of change: the Perestroika period, which restructured the Soviet political and economic system, and caused of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, during 1991-1992."
