A Mountain of Crumbs: A Memoir by Elena Gorokhova
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Russia has always been a mystery to me. And when i saw A Mountain of Crumbs, i did not hesitate to buy it. Loving it so far because it reminds me of how much i love Diary of Anne Frank when i was a teen. I like how it was written in innocence, staying as down to earth as a normal child can be. Currently i am reading on the protagonist in her young adulthood, working and studying. I like that it doesnt talk so much about the politics but a middle class family living their days, struggles of having daily stipend food, working hard to lead a decent life. And author shared significant memories from her life like the death of her father, becoming a guide, her sister’s play.
Overall enjoying the book.
