A Russian Romance
A year after the collapse of the Soviet Union a novel surfaces in Moscow that had been written “for the drawer” two decades earlier. Embraced by the literary world as the finest Russian novelist since Solzhenitsyn, the author has journeyed to America to attend a conference celebrating his achievement. Awaiting him is a deeply admiring professor from the Midwest and a family of long lost American relations in upstate New York.
But all is not as it seems. And when the web of fretful, well-meaning deceit finally unravels, orphaning all the romantic yearnings it falsely inspired, it causes severe chagrin all around. A Russian Romance is a farce, a satire, and a besotted love letter to Russian literature.
