Moscow, 1913, Frank, an ex-pat Englishman, arrives home to discover his wife is en route for England with the children, only to abandon them at the nearest railway station. As winter is losing its grip so Frank is floundering, his well-meaning friends only adding to his confusion. Don't read it you're looking for derring-do and neat resolutions but if you enjoy pondering and peeling back layers, you'll be rewarded by a thought-provoking and often very funny read.
