Longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2024

The first in a series of historical mysteries set amid the chaos of the Russian Revolution. By the author of Death and the Penguin and Grey Bees

Kyiv, 1919. The Soviets control the city, but White armies menace them from the West. No man trusts his neighbour and any spark of resistance may ignite into open rebellion.

When Samson Kolechko's father is murdered, his last act is to save his son from a falling Cossack sabre. Deprived of his right ear instead of his head, Samson is left an orphan, with only his father's collection of abacuses for company.

Until, that is, his flat is requisitioned by two Red Army soldiers, whose secret plans Samson is somehow able to overhear with uncanny clarity. Eager to thwart them, he stumbles into a world of murder and intrigue that will either be the making of him - or finish what the Cossack started.

To be honest this isn’t my genre and I should have dnfd but hoped I would warm to it. I loved grey bees

Not keen on the narration

Bir sorun oluştu. Lütfen birkaç dakika sonra tekrar deneyin.
The every day detail set in the wide historical context of the revolution. Banality turned into art. I disliked the childish reading and monotonous intonation

War and upheaval through the eyes of everyday folk

I liked the slightly mad story of the engineer turned police who solves crime with the aid of his excised ear but the narrator

Good story but narrator not for me

Bir sorun oluştu. Lütfen birkaç dakika sonra tekrar deneyin.
Gripping drama with a hint of the surreal set in post WW1 Ukraine. A terrific story by modern Ukraine’s leading novelist

Gripping drama

I found the historical context interesting but the narrative performance in general and the pronunciation of Ukrainian/Russian words absolutely dreadful. The reader completely destroyed the inherent poetry of the original.

Interesting historically but dreadful narration
