Notes

Description
"When Andrei Kaplan's older brother insists he return to Moscow to care for their ailing grandmother, he must take stock of his life in New York. His girlfriend has stopped returning his texts. His dissertation adviser is dubious about his job prospects. His bank balance is dangerously low. So Andrei packs up his hockey stuff and moves in with a woman who has outlived her husband and most of her friends. She survived the dark days of communism and witnessed Russia's violent capitalist transformation, during which she lost her beloved dacha. She welcomes Andrei into her home--even if she can't always remember who he is. Over the course of the year, his grandmother's health declines. Andrei's politics and allegiances are tested, and he is forced to come to terms with the Moscow he was born into, as well as his American home. A wise, sensitive novel about Russia, exile, family, love, history, and fate, A Terrible County asks what you owe the place you were born, and what it owes you." --,Adapted from publisher.
