the short summary gets it about right, and wrong. "short stories about men and women, love and hate, sex and disappointment, cynicism and hope---- "
this is true, these stories all deal with the above, via 'stereotypical?" strong Georgian women, and mostly bewildered, "typical" Georgian men, and others....but then this part of the summary is wrong, all wrong: "perhaps unique in that none of the stories reveal the time or place in which they occur..." when in fact this is exactly what is going to happen to you after your first toast in georgia, but south of the mountains please, you toast north of the mountains, you may be in trouble, and you are wondering why everything has potatoes in it, and how is it possible to drink a barrel of wine AND all that vodka (get you future read in the coffee grounds and be sure to make a wish, as it will, maybe, come true). plus this travel guide to georgia will allow you to see with educated eyes all the wonderful, unique architecture and natural wonders too on your visit. take a good pair of walking shoes, don't forget.
