Ten women from the U.K. here discuss their writing and its relationship to feminist issues with University College (London) literary critic and teacher Kenyon. Of diverse voice and point of view, the ten--Anita Brookner, Margaret Drabble, Iris Murdoch, Michele Robert, P.D.

Hardback. Condizione: New. The England We Know: Russian Voices Abroad is based on a series of interviews, recorded between 2019 and 2021, with twelve Russophone immigrants-those who have achieved success and those who haven't, the well-educated and the blue-collar-interpolated with the author's memoir. Each story invites the reader into the intimate world of these men and women who have built their lives in England, the destination and dreamland for those who have arrived here from various corners of the former Soviet Union: Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, and Russia. Whereas, for others, the UK has become their third or even fourth home, these stories take readers on a journey to Canada, Italy, France, and New Zealand. These vividly reconstructed stories give voice to the so-often voiceless revealing family secrets and the trauma of generations. They are the stories of lives transformed. In The England We Know: Russian Voices Abroad Olga Kenton provides readers with a deep and empathetic understanding of the immigrant experience. These deeply personal stories-filled with moments of joy, sorrow, struggle, and triumph-explore themes of identity, belonging and the search for a new home.…
