About this Book”
The debut of 2011 : A stunning novel of moral ambiguity, uncertainty and corruption in Moscow.
'Snowdrops assaults all your senses with its power and poetry, and leaves you stunned and addicted' Independent Snowdrops.
That's what the Russians call them - the bodies that float up into the light in the thaw. Drunks, most of them, and homeless people who just give up and lie down into the whiteness, and murder victims hidden in the drifts by their killers.
Nick has a confession. When he worked as a high-flying British lawyer in Moscow, he was seduced by Masha, an enigmatic woman who led him through her city: the electric nightclubs and intimate dachas, the human kindnesses and state-wide corruption. Yet as Nick fell for Masha, he found that he fell away from himself; he knew that she was dangerous, but the life in Russia was addivtive, and it was too easy to bury secrets - and corpses - in the winter snows.
