Reviews
"This intricately woven and, frankly, bedazzling novel is more than a retelling ofAnna Karenina.It's a laser-sharp portrait of the contemporary Russian-American dream, New York style. Irina Reyn's voice is sophisticated and street smart, and once I became acquainted with her characters I could not put this novel down."-- Frederick Reiken, author ofThe Odd SeaandThe Lost Legends of New Jersey, "What every émigré community deserves is a few fearless, insightful, and penetrating young voices both to announce an arrival and sing an elegy. Irina Reyn is one of those voices, and her first novel is as charming as it is sad, as funny as it is revelatory."-- Tom Bissell, author ofGod Lives in St. PetersburgandThe Father of All Things, "This witty, psychologically astute, and immensely pleasurable novel is something of a miracle. By dint of some divine stubbornness, the author has folded the Tolstoyan paradigm of grandeur and regret into our pettier, shallower age, and illuminated both in the process. I know of no recent first novel that has better captured the way we live now, with as assured a sense of comedy and compassion."-- Phillip Lopate, author ofWaterfrontandPortrait of My Body, "Irina Reyn has done the impossible: she has reimagined one of mankind's very best novels, and made it beautifully her own. That she has not diminished Tolstoy but updated him -- freshened him for the strange, sensuous time in which we live -- is as wondrous a feat as I can recall in contemporary fiction."-- Darin Strauss, author ofChang and EngandThe Real McCoy, "Irina Reyn's debut offers a feisty reimagining of the original tale, with contemporary Russian-Jewish characters in Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn brought to vividly detailed life -- and with the conundrums and consolations of immigration itself rendered compassionately and smartly."-- Martha Cooley, author ofThe ArchivistandThirty-Three Swoons, "Irina Reyn's sly wit and perfect-pitch dialogue make this modern-day retelling ofAnna Kareninaa delight to read. Reyn is a cunning writer who knows her subject -- Russian-Jewish immigrants in New York City -- inside out, and casts a skeptical glance at their habits, aspirations, and thwarted destinies. Readers should love this novel, whether or not they know the original Anna."-- Lynne Sharon Schwartz, author ofRuined by ReadingandLeaving Brooklyn

Synopsis
Vivacious 37-year-old Anna K. is comfortably married to Alex, an older, prominent businessman from her tight-knit Russian-Jewish immigrant community in Queens. But a longing for freedom is reignited in this bookish, overly romantic, and imperious woman when she meets her cousin Katia Zavurov's boyfriend.

    Bien empaquetado, comunicación buena con el vendedor. La figura viene tal cual está descrita en la descripción. Figura original. Contento con la compra. Los gastos de envío al final salieron más caros de lo que se acordó en un primer momento, tuve que pagar los gastos de la aduana al recoger el paquete en la oficina de Correos, lo cual no estaba previsto.
