Editor's Summary
This book is a must-read for anyone who loves time travel, nostalgia, and a good story. The author's writing is engaging, and the characters are well-developed and relatable. With its immersive world-building and nuanced portrayal of everyday struggles, this book is a total game changer.
A Refreshing Change of Pace
I just finished reading this book, and I gotta say, it's a total game changer. After devouring The 50-Year-Old Office Worker, I was hooked on the idea of being transported back in time. This book takes a different approach, though - our protagonist is a 62-year-old saleswoman from a Russian supermarket who finds herself in 1992, with no superpowers and no fancy gadgets to help her navigate the past.
What I love about this book is that it's not just about the time travel; it's about the everyday struggles of living in a foreign era. The author does a great job of immersing you in the world of 1992, with all its challenges and quirks. You'll feel like you're right there with the protagonist, trying to make sense of a world that's vastly different from your own.
One of the things that really stood out to me was the way the author handled the protagonist's relationships. She's a widow with children to care for, and she's struggling to make ends meet in a society that's on the brink of collapse. It's a really nuanced portrayal of what it means to be a woman in a difficult situation.
Overall, I'm hooked on this series. The writing is engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the story is full of surprises. If you're looking for a book that will transport you to another time and place, look no further.
