Three Wishes for Cinderella

[folkhymn]

From the Schulz Museum: “In 1951, Charles M. Schulz painted a nursery wall in his Colorado Springs home for his daughter, Meredith. After multiple owners painted over it, Polly Travnicek painstakingly revealed the 96-square-foot mural inch by inch using sanding liquid and cotton balls. The wall was removed from the home in 2001 and transported to Santa Rosa for the opening of the Schulz Museum in 2002!”

Without oceans and the atmosphere, Earth’s temperatures would be like the moon’s, which drop by hundreds of degrees after sunset. Winds on Earth carry warm air towards the poles and cool air towards the equator. Ocean-top currents carry warm water towards the poles and underwater currents carry cool water towards the Equator.

#6 :)

6. What books have you read in the last month?

🌈 The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Taylor Jenkins Reid One worth the hype. I don’t know what to say about this one without giving too much away. Read it. You won’t regret it. If any book ever was worth the hype it’s this one.

✝️ Crucifix - Richard Montanari I read that one because I was visiting family and finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and therefore needed a new book for the train drive back. Sometimes authors of thrillers want to surprise the reader so badly, they point dozens of clues at a suspect to the point where it becomes obvious that it can’t possibly be them, that would be too simple. This book does that even with multiple suspects. Well, I read worse too.

❄️ Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson Those who know me know that young adult problem literature is one of my beloved guilty pleasures. This book however hit so hard and different, I’m not sure if I could have handled it when I was a teen myself.

🐉 The Bone Dragon by Alexia Casale The german title translates to “The night is the Dragon’s” wich I prefer a lot. I read a review that criticised there wasn’t anything happening in the book - wich I understand to some point but don’t see as a bad thing since the majority of horrible things happened before the plot and some things happen out of the protagonist’s perspective.

🎨 The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides Holy smokes, what a ride. When I got to the point where I figured it out I think I let out a loud gasp while I was reading on the subway. 😅 Again, I kinda agree with a review that said the one twist was too obvious ... but don’t we like it when we are right about that in a thriller? And even if we figure that one out relatively early, there’s still a lot of questions and other suspensful entanglements to keep us engaged all the way to the last page.

👑 Mio, my Son - Astrid Lindgren One of those books I’ve heard of basically my whole life but only got around to read recently. It’s surprisingly dark and grim. And I mean even more than let’s say The Ghost Of Skinny Jack or Most Beloved Sister.

🐙 Harte Schale, Weichtierkern - Cornelia Travnicek Not (yet?) translated, the title means Hard Shell, Soft Core and is a play on words with the german word for mollusk: Weichtier. This one was on the list of recommended book I got along with my autism diagnosis. It’s more or less the diary of a girl who comes to terms with the neurotypical world and it’s challenges with the help of her special interest: Molluscs. The book is also full of really beautiful and kinda profound illustrations. It does use outdated language tho.

🦜 Treasure Island or the Mutiny of the Hispaniola - Robert L. Stevenson One of the classics of world literature, so many young adventurous kids bloomed into booklovers thanks to this novel ... wich baffles me to be honest. 😅 Maybe it didn’t age as well, maybe I’m not the best audience for adventures on the high sea but it took about at least half the book until the suspense really was there. It does contain interesting background information about the author tho.

Untraceable by Sergei Lebedev

Untraceable by Sergei Lebedev, translated by Antonina W. Bouis.

House Of Zeus / New Vessel Press

Sergei Lebedev, born in 1981 has become one of Russian’s most important contemporary writers. The Berlin based Russian writer has developed a reputation of examining some of the darker occurrences in his country’s history. His debut novel “Oblivion” examined the horror of the Siberian detention camps set up by Stalin through a contemporary setting. With “Untraceable” the storyline focused on the very topical issue of Russian state sponsored poisoning.

The novel opens with focus on an elderly Russian dissident Vyrin who is living out his years in Germany. Despite a false name, plastic surgery and cautious behaviour, he is located and eliminated using an untraceable, extremely lethal poison called Neophyte. We then learn that the investigation team set up by the German authorities involves four scientists, three of which are named. Given that the original developer of Neophyte is former Soviet professor Kalitin who defected upon the collapse of the USSR is believed to be in Germany; it is deduced that he must be the fourth scientist. This effectively reveals his cover.

Two unnamed generals agree to dispatch special forces killers from Russia to silence Kalitin. The story then breaks into two concurrent running storylines, the first featuring Kalitin in his secluded home in the German countryside and the second follows Lieutenants Shershnev and Grebenyuk on their travels from Russia to locate and exterminate him. Gradually the back story to both Kalitin and Shershnev emerge and we discover that neither is a character due our sympathies.

"Untraceable" may be a work of fiction but it does give a high level of imagined insight into the development of chemical weapons by the Russians during the Cold War. Kalitin who excelled at science was recruited by his family acquaintance Igor Zakharyevsky. Sworn to secrecy he progressed his career leading to his development of Neophyte. Dedicated to his work, it cost him his own marriage and chance of a family. His defection was more motivated by the loss of further opportunities to continue his research rather than ideological reasons. While taking nothing personal with him, he did keep a secret quantity of Neophyte.

It is not just the crimes of the distant past that are relayed. Lieutenant Shershnev's perspectives of more recent Russian operations in Chechnya are revealed as he takes the long and protracted journey to Germany. He has torture and a death which rest uneasily on his conscience. A formal and untrusting relationship with his colleague Grebenyuk and they just about remain able to tolerate each other on their mission to commit a future crime. Things do not go to plan from the outset, partly due to inadequate planning and party due to chance. These sections are some of the lightest of the book. On occasion I did wish that the self reflective sections would be shorter as I was keen to follow the pursuit. However these are the aspects that Lebedev specifically wants to inform us about.

While Kalitin often appears to live in his past and imagination he is awoken from his slumber by the character of Pastor Travnicek. Easily the greatest redeemer of the story he suffered at the hands of the East German STASI and he recognises something of himself in Kalitin while keeping ever vigilant within his parish.

As a whole the novel is strong and compelling providing both a historical context and a thriller as the protagonists draw closer. The translation by Antonina W. Bouis is fluid and without ambiguities.

Untraceable by Sergei Lebedev is a very absorbing and revealing story, opening our eyes to a world that often seems closed to us. It will long remain with me and expect it to be unlike any other books that I will read this year. I will certainly be awaiting Lebedev's next work with keen anticipation.

Thanks to New Vessel Press for providing access to me to read this novel on NetGalley.
