Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945); Historical fiction

The hour between dog and wolf is twilight, when it is hard to distinguish between known and unknown, right and wrong. When one state has ended and another has not quite begun. In 1980s Russia, Soviet policies, cruel but familiar, are giving way to untested concepts such as glasnost and perestroika.

Four teenagers - Anya, Milka, Petya and Aleksey, whose lives, like those of their Western counterparts, are fuelled by sex, alcohol, and cigarettes

yearn for a world of Levi's, Queen, foreign travel and the freedom to choose their fates. Instead, like their ancestors, they encounter heartbreak and tragedy. With a nod to Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, crumbling dachas surrounded by apple orchards, the scenes of idyllic summers, are slated for destruction as capitalism corrupts and corrodes the best of the past without bringing a promise of renewal.

Yet while depicting a bloody and desperate era, this exceptional debut novel pulsates with life. It is radiant with friendship and love, the power of international literature, values and politics, as its characters struggle to survive, to save their country and one another.

'A timeless tale of memory, desire, dreams lost and altered, love changed and unchanged.' - Yiyun Li, author of Must I Go

'[A] Stunning debut...

Gorcheva-Newberry pulls off a tragic and nostalgic love letter to a much-tried generation. This is a winner.' - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

'Gorcheva-Newberry does the reader a great service, offering a peek behind the iron curtain and its veil of propoganda...

If there is such a thing as clear-eyed sentimentality, Between Dog and Wolf evokes it.' - Bookpage (Starred Review)
