... this seems to be a departure from his usual background, which tend to be pre-Communist rule in 1949. I am used to sumptuous descriptions of materials and surroundings that leap up off the page. In this book, I was struck by the drabness of the setting - to be fair, I am positive that this is absolutely correct, but it just didn't capture my attention as much as previous forays into this author's work have done.
