Nikolai the Perfect

Jim McIntyre

While post-communist Moscow deals with political transition, Vassili despairs at his wife Anna’s infertility. Following his father Sergey’s footsteps, he travels to Melbourne to teach Russian at university. Accompanying him is a parcel holding a secret to be delivered to a Helen Dalrymple, that could blow the family apart.

Striking in its lyrical beauty and profound in what it has to say about love, family and cultural dislocation.
