Why read it?
1 author picked Atomic Anna as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The book tells the story of three generations of Russian women in the second half of the twentieth century. It’s a very unusual blend of Sci-fi, geopolitical history, time travel, and moral dilemmas. A tall order, but the book succeeds in weaving together these narrative strands in a way that feels natural and effortless, while evoking questions about our complex relationship with the notion of scientific progress.
From Janice's list on family dramas in a multi-generational perspective.
