This book is great! The beginnings quiet slow but then the plot thickens. I was luck enough to get the preview and it seems like a wonderful book. I will be ordering this book once i have enough points! The way I had to question myself so many times because of what Madame burova was thinking. Also the author gives you great details of characters personality and characteristics. You feel like you know the person in real life and i really relate to many people in the books. It's set in the present and in 1972. I fell like that is a significant decade because that was the decade of change. Where they introduced technology and they introduced all sorts of new things to the world. It shows how humanity has adjusted and changed to the changes to technology. Madame Burova seems like a stubborn, yet independent person. She also seems like she constantly has to prove herself to other people since sheds constantly 'demanding' questions which gives you a tone of difficulty
