Masha Hamilton’s fifth novel, What Changes Everything, is truly an American story, an exploration of our twisted, misguided, generous relationship with an enigmatic country.

Год издания:
Olumpiavoitja Gerd Kanteri raamat inglise keeles. Minu kodukandis Vigalas oeldakse: ule madala aia oskab astuda igauks. Mulle pole madalad aiad kunagi sobinud.
