“Perhaps this is JB indulging himself with his knowledge and like of Dmitri Shostakovich? This novel is set in Russia 1936 and highlights the Great Terror that Stalin brought.
Parts of this story are based on real events and for this it is interesting. I did read more of this time period off the back of the novel.
