Why read it?
1 author picked The Silver Bone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first in a new mystery series by celebrated Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov, translated by Boris Dralyuk. A thoroughly original setting--1919 Kyiv--is the real star here; the mystery itself takes a backseat. Kurkov brilliantly captures the chaos and uncertainty of post-WWI Ukraine. This translation makes a relatively unknown but profoundly important history accessible to an American audience.
