About this listen

A riveting psychological drama that unfolds over the course of one Moscow winter, as a thirty-something Englishman’s moral compass is spun by the seductive opportunities revealed to him by a new Russia: a land of hedonism and desperation, corruption and kindness, magical dachas and debauched nightclubs: a place where secrets - and corpses - come to light only when the deep snows start to thaw...

One of my favourite reads and narrated beautifully. Superb, I keep coming back to this book.

the story was ok but overall book + narrator I found it sad and depressing

Almost depressing

The more negative reviewers may have missed the point with 'Snowdrops'; it's the small details and brutal honesty about personal failings that make the first-person narrative work so well, and it's allied to excellent narration as well. Miller was good writing for the Economist and even better here.

Substantial and subtle

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is refreshing to read foreigner/expatriate's perspective of real life in Russia with its beauty and ugliness well balance. The author is not patronising which is refreshing. Excellent Debut. The only complaint is narrators russian pronounciations. Inaccurate and not really good. However, his switch between british and american was pretty good.

Excellent Book

A wonderful book, beautifully read. Highly recommended and enough twists and turns to keep you captivated from start to very satisfying finish.
