The Big Green Tent

In this contemporary novel, three passionate and artistic boys—a poet, a pianist, and a photographer—meet in 1950s Moscow as schoolmates. As they grow, they come to embody the experiences that have filled Russian novels for centuries: love, exile, censorship, secrets, spies, and identity. Impressively, <em>Kirkus</em> calls this "Worthy of shelving alongside <em>Doctor Zhivago</em>."
