Set in early 1950s Soviet Ukraine, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Stalin's regime, where the nation grapples with post-war recovery and societal healing. Amidst a climate rife with plots and conspiracies, both genuine and fabricated, the story explores the tensions surrounding challenges to socialist values, reflecting the complexities of life under a repressive government.

Klotsvog is a novel about being Jewish in the Soviet Union and the historical trauma of World War II-and it's a novel about the petty dramas and demons of one wonderfully vain woman. Maya Abramovna Klotsvog has had quite a life, and she wants you to know all about it.
