With Stalin’s death, the Soviet Union remained a repressive, harsh and belligerent place, but one which became more predictable for its citizens and one which made a genuine attempt to create the egalitarian, progressive country that the Russian Revolution had once promised. That this attempt would fail was not clear until the 1980s. Mark B. Smith’s book recreates the day-to-day life of this vast state, the largest ever to exist.
Rocky, Nick, Willa and Jamie. A normal loving, anxious, messy relatable, family. Rocky has her own her way of processing disasters: 1. This could happen to us. 2. This couldn’t happen to us. And then there’s a secret third column: ‘This could happen to us unless I am very careful/superstitious/grateful’. So when a former classmate of Jamie’s dies in a seemingly random accident, Rocky becomes obsessed. She’s also developed a niggling medical condition that won’t go away. On the surface, she is still living her best life as the irreverent, funny, unpredictable beating heart of her family. Her father is his unique, adorable self; Willa is prone to bouts of existential angst whilst berating the fact that her mother has zero filter; Nick is steady, logical, sometimes infuriating. But if accidents can happen – and they do – is it safe to love anyone?
