Four Generations of Women, a Communal Apartment, and a Pivotal Day!
In the vastness of Siberia, thousands of versts east of Moscow, four generations of women—grandmother, mother, daughter, and granddaughter—live in a cramped communal apartment, beneath the crumbling plaster of a bygone era. It is March 11, 1985, the dawn of a new era, though no one realizes it yet. Everyone goes about their daily routine: the engineer next door tries to organize his life into neat boxes, Warwara helps bring a child into the world, Maria dreams of love, and Janka wants to sing in the kitchen that evening.
“Future Music” is a sweeping novel about four lives at a turning point, about a vanished world that still echoes today, about the absurdity of existence, and the great question of the here and now: What is to be done?
