Not at all the same, but Andrey Kurkov has a number of books talking about his complicated country, including the corruption, and has becomes a cultural ambassador for Ukraine.  Brad was reading Grey Bees a while back, which takes place after the invasion of Crimea, but before the recent invasion.  I'm just starting this now.

I thought it was a terrific book as he travels through the Donbas and Crimea with his bees.

Me too, and it's sequel. Read them decades ago, maybe worth a revisit

It’s on my list but haven’t gotten around to it.

Currently reading Willkie Collins’ The Moonstone.

It's beautifully done and it's just come out.
Pretty much the last project that Strachwitz was involved in at the time of his death.
The full description pretty much covers what you get inside.
Bought a copy for a couple in Silver City, NM who I knew would appreciate it,
so, I'm very impressed by its quality.

America over the Waters by Shirley Collins. Seems to have been reissued.

Sometimes between more intelectual books I just read some easier stuff as "bedtime stories" . 

Like almost all books I read, they have been translated in Romanian language.

I think the original title is "The last time I saw Paris" (reminds me of the tune)

That's one you ought to haved put in the "Music Books reading" topic as well - to give it more exposure.

Looks interesting indeed.

Well, it was just what I was reading...

Anyway, if you care to have some Sunday musical accompaniment,
I did a Strachwitz tribute show back in May
that coincided with the local blues fest.
