Xin Tan Tan itibaren Gobuustu, Azerbaycan itibaren Gobuustu, Azerbaycan

I've read Keneally's The Great Shame, and I thought I ought to pick up this, his most famous work. It is as chilling and well-written as expected, and, since its scope is more focused, easier to follow than The Great Shame. The story is fascinating, even if one already knows the broad strokes. The reader is excellent, with what this French-speaker can only guess is authentic German and Polish pronunciations, and an aloof suavity that accords perfectly with the precision and detached judgment of the text.
