Elena stops by to talk about her illuminating novel A Train To Moscow. This is easily the most fascinating interview I've ever had. Elena's beautiful book takes place in Russia after the second world war and reveals a society that not only grinds it's citizen up but also leads directly to what we're seeing in the world right now.  This is a beautiful coming-of-age story and a nail biting and heartbreaking thriller. Absolutely beautifully written. This book gets my highest recommendation.
