Recommended by bookseller Andrew Turton:
"1918, and Teffi is beginning the long and frantic journey south from Petrograd to escape the ensuing madness of the unfolding Russian Civil War. In this heart-breaking, very real and often very funny memoir Teffi brilliantly illuminates the ordinary and unheroic people she encounters, conveying the full force of the fear, despair and total horror of Russia in this most chaotic of times."
