Reviews

“The story will take you on a daredevil adventure—to virgin forests of Russia’s Far East, and an oasis of a university town amid Siberian wilderness. You will glimpse the loveliest and ugliest sides of Russian life refracted through the author’s youthful wonder, as she learns to love, trust, and be heartbroken, and to summon courage to move forward.” —Yelena Lembersky, author of Like a Drop of Ink in a Downpour “A passionate personal reflection on Jewish life in the world of Soviet Russia, Siberian Summer embraces contradictions and controversies, where limitations of freedom imposed by authoritarian government overlap with the almost unlimited freedom of self-expression, culture, and spirituality. ” —Rabbi Joshua Breindel
