Florence Fein, a recent college graduate, defies expectations and takes a job in Moscow in 1930's. Florence's story is picked up her son, Julian, and his son, Lenny. Traversing the 1930's to the 1950' to 2008, switching between New York city and Moscow, this brilliantly executed tale brims with indelible characters living as Americans in Moscow during the Cold War and its aftermath. The power of propaganda and Florence's determination, in spite of a 7-year prison term, doesn't weaken her commitment to stay in Moscow. Even when forced as an elderly woman to join her family in the U.S., Florence never sacrifices her ideals, never criticizes the Soviet Union!
On the eve of a wife/mother's death, a grieving father and his two sons are visited by an enormous crow that refuses to leave until they've come to terms with their grief. Poetry and novella in one, this beautiful book is told from three perspectives: the father, the boys, and the crow himself. It's a story about loss, healing, and what grief can do when we accept it into our lives.
