Sample Book Insights:
#1 In Russia, baptism is traditionally done at the Church of St. John the Warrior in Central Moscow. Masha was baptized there on the seventieth anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. Her grandmother, a rocket scientist, had spent her life working on material things that were the opposite of religion.
#2 The Soviet Union had defeated organized religion, but Grandmother knew that this was not entirely true. The new generation was supposed to grow up entirely free of the superstitions of which religion was just a subset. But when the Second World War began, people turned to God.
#3 When Tatiana had her baby, she was surprised to find that she was once again dependent on her parents. She had to make money and pull strings to escape her parental home.
#4 Masha’s mother, Tatiana, was a tutor. She would teach Masha how to tell counterfeit dollars from genuine currency, as well as prepare her clients to face the coffins questions designed for Jewish applicants.
