Thus far, I have really enjoyed the book. It is historical, non-fiction, which I normally wouldn't be drawn to, but the way it is written in such an experientially-led way encapsulates the history so well, whilst keeping me engaged. It follows Marietta and her husband, whom is the shoemaker in the title of this book, and their life experiences throughout the former Soviet Union and later, Russia. Marietta is Armenian and her and her mother come from the Armenian town Martakert, which later becomes a largely Azeri population. They then migrate to Grozny, Chechnya, where Marietta and Stanislav (the shoemaker) will meet. At present, Stanislav is being exiled to Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, after trading a car for profit - something that is strictly prohbited by Khrushchev under the communist regime. Stay-tuned for more on this review!...more
