"The power of memories, of exile, of what's been lost... Ignatieff, whose family has left Russia during the Revolution, has written a very elegiac, nostalgic remembrance about family and the country that has disappeared. It's beautifully written, with emotion but without embarrassing sentimentality, and it does capture the elusive quality of fleeting memories and of what's gone forever."
