Description
Incredibly powerful & by the time you reach the end you'll have experienced the laughter sorrow joy regret love and hurt of a real life. Alan Alda
The possibility of leaving Russia was never as thrilling as the prospect of leaving my mother.
When Elena Gorokhova arrives in America the only link back to her Russian past is a suitcase filled with twenty kilograms of what used to be her life. Navigating a country she had been taught to fear Elena begins to carve out a new life in an unfamiliar world.
Before the birth of Elena's daughter her mother comes to visit and stays for twenty-four years. Elena must struggle with the challenge of raising an American daughter whilst living with her controlling mother a mirror image of her Motherland.
Russian Tattoo is the story of what it means to be an outsider and what happens when the cultures of our past and present collide. Above all it is an insightful portrait of mothers and daughters.
