We are so fortunate to have Bianca Maclean in our book group who made it possible for us to enjoy the author’s company on the 21st of September.
About the Book: Partying until sunrise, baptism under ice, dead bodies on the street, treachery in business dealings – everyday life for an expatriate working in Russia.
"Caviar, Vodka and Tears" recounts the joys and frustrations of life and work in Russia over the period 2008 to 2022, through the eyes of the fictitious expatriate Keller family. The Kellers establish many deep friendships with ordinary Russians, and have many extraordinary adventures.
Keller’s business ventures meet initial success but become harder as relations with the West worsen and end in treachery and apparent disaster. However, when the conflict in Ukraine erupts in 2022, his failure is revealed as a godsend, and Keller is forced to reassess his past role in developing Russia’s energy industry.
