"A sort of autobiographical story about a tsarist family in Kyiv during the Russian Civil War. There are numerous themes here, but the book is primarily concerned with chaos and uncertainty during times of war, even as people try to go about their daily lives. Bonus points for the colorful descriptions of Kyiv."
"I love Bulgakov's works. This book presents the middle-class family in trouble times in year of 1918 - German military units near Kiev, Semen Petlura's Sich Rieflemen, bolsheviks and the Volunteer Army. On one side there are representatives of Russian intelligence living in Kiev for generations and on the other side there is very young Ukrainian national consciousness. The Russian intelligence felt unwanted and alienated. Great book"
