I found myself rooting for Tom, in the hope that he would come to their defense for Lyubov reduced in order to save the relationship. In my opinion, the book is abit 'in Chapter 6, "the magazine at home, in which the events of the first five chapters are grouped together. However, Almond gets quickly to push back on track, the story continues until climax.

This is not a fairy tale novel. It is a touching story of a realistic man looking for love. The finish is powerful, emotional, and do not forget so quickly. I have recommended Goodbye Kiev.
