Riding the subway on a balmySeptember day, he rescues two willowy sisters, Masha andKatya, from a would-be purse snatcher.

Snowdrops is a fast-paced drama that unfolds during abeautiful but lethally cold Russian winter. Ostensibly a storyof naive foreigners and cynical natives, the novel becomessomething richer and darker: a tale of erotic obsession, self-deceptionand moral freefall. It is set in a land of hedonism anddesperation, corruption and kindness, magical hideaways anddebauched nightclubs; a place where secrets, and corpses, cometo light when the snows thaw.
