The Other Amsterdam
by Dato Turashvili
Description
In his latest novel Turashvili tells a story of how he went to the Netherlands to explore the story of his grandfather, a Soviet soldier Melenti Maskhulia who fought alongside guerrillas against the Nazi regime. After returning to his homeland, Maskhulia was announced a deserter and the Soviet government sent him to Siberia, sentensing him to ten years of imprisonment. But this is the story narrated by his daughter, while his widow thinks that the only reason Maskhulia was in the Netherlands was his lover and that he had not fought against the Nazi regime for even a day.
