Book reviews

“A very interesting book. I don’t know if I liked it so much because I miss Belarus or because it’s really great. Both. Sad, realistic, hopeless – everything just the way I like it))) It’s a pity that many of these things are repeated even now…” Anya S. (goodreads.com)

“Given the protests and political demonstrations in 2020 and 2021, some parts of the book seem prophetic.” Greet Braem (hebban.nl)

“If you come to explain to someone the difference between a democracy with temporary coronavirus restrictions and a dictatorship, remember this sentence: ‘If someone proposes to breathe, it’s only because it’s profitable for someone or it doesn’t bother anyone…'” Mireille Bregman (bazarow.com)

“In the novel Filipienko makes palpable from beginning to end the atmosphere of the depressing schizophrenia of the dictatorship. The real events he uses as a backdrop make his story believable in every way. One only has to look at the protests and the wave of arrests in 2020 to understand that the French Quarter is on the rocks. What makes it all the more important is that a representative of the times dares to continue his protest despite all the resulting dangers.” Michel Krielaars (nrcwebwinkel.nl)

“I very much hope that one day this book will no longer be relevant in my country.” Saša Filipienka
