This is a very unique and interesting concept, and a book that is exceptionally well written. Boguslavski has a talent to string words together, such that it's easy and most pleasant reading. His sense of humour is often riotously funny! There's an incredible attention to detail on many aspects of the setting. The descriptions of food and drink got my complete and total attention ... delicious! Having said that, other detailed narratives on items such as wedding party fashion and architecture had much less appeal to me, were a bit much and I wanted to move on. Female readers may well find the bridal fashion angle much more interesting than I did. The inclusion of global current events of the day mixed into the backdrop are thought-provoking and add depth to the overall story. Bottom line ... a great book I thoroughly enjoyed.
