## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I loved this book.
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2013*

Beautifully written.  There's a magical realism element to this story that took me to places I didn't expect to go.  I don't know too much about Russian history, but it spoke to me of how the life of the Russian peasant didn't change much from the time of the Tsars to the time of the Soviets.  I think the author knew his subjects well and wrote with authority.  He bared the souls of his characters and in the process opened their lives to me.  I haven't read much Russian fiction but will be doing so in the future.

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2018*

This is a book I liked for sentimental reasons about Communist Russia in the twentieth century.

    A Heart Rending Tale of a Beloved Home's Drowning in the Wake of Progress
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2012*

Farewell to Matyora depicts the picturesque peasant's paradise (in the eye of the beholder) where a commune of peasants has lived and worked from as far back as their memory can harken, and then farther still. However, the reality of the construction of a hydroelectric dam downstream and the inevitable flooding of their island home steadily creeps in upon the consciousness of the villagers. Rasputin's masterpiece of Village Prose tracks this progression of increasing awareness of the approaching fate and the disparaging ways in which the villagers cope with, as well as bid their goodbyes to their beloved home and are forced into the city. A definitive story of the time and a true homage to the fleeting village life.
