Reviews
[Conveys] to readers a vivid, almost visceral understanding of the sometimes paralyzing sense of dislocation [Gorokhova] experienced arriving in the United States in 1980 from the Soviet Union. . . . Every page sings with sharp, intelligent, often witty observations about her new, confusing life in America. . . . Brilliant [and] illuminating., [Gorokhova fills] the pages with fresh metaphors about American culture....Gorokhova's lovely turns of phrase carry the book., Self-effacing and candid, yet also deeply observant and as powerfully descriptive as a novel, Russian Tattoo is that rare book written by an immigrant that helps a native understand their country better, seeing it from the peeled-back perspective of a newcomer., A refreshing amount of candor elevates this memoir of an immigrant's life in America. ... [A] wonderful and entertaining work., If Elena Gorokhova's splendid second memoir merely conveyed to readers a vivid, almost visceral understanding of the sometimes paralyzing sense of dislocation she experienced arriving in the United States in 1980 from the Soviet Union, that alone would be reason enough to read it. ... Brilliant [and] illuminating., Russian Tattoo ...takes one to new heights of truly understanding the 'guts' and significance of immigration....Many could identify with [Gorokhova] or tell a story similar to hers. But it's nearly impossible to tell it better than she did., [Gorokhova] provides readers with a fascinating glimpse into what it meant to fit into American society after growing up behind the Iron Curtain. ... [A] worthwhile read., An exquisite memoir of emigrating from Russia. . . . A magnificent book, all the more notable because memoirs are common and rarely this wonderful., Elena Gorokhova's memoir of her journey to America is delightful, hilarious and bracingly candid, a memorable odyssey of learning and striving as she escapes from the crumbling old world to a strange and mystifying new life., Engaging. ... With a wry, unswervingly honest observer's eye, Gorokhova chronicles the increasing strangeness of her new country. ... This work from a young immigrant's point of view is both wondrous and stinging., Russian Tattoo is a page-turner from the start. . . . Gorokhova fills her story of arriving in the U.S. with telling, fascinating details . . . [and] bravely, frankly shares her life., Russian Tattoo is a gripping story, Elena Gorokhova is a clear-voiced and human narrator, and her life is captivating without becoming incomprehensible. The glory of the book is in its little things: the pride that comes from feeling respected by a parent, and the trust needed to humble yourself before them., Engaging. ... With wry, unswervingly honest observer's eye, Gorokhova chronicles the increasing strangeness of her new country. ... This work from a young immigrant's point of view is both wondrous and stinging., Russian Tattoo is the story of an immigrant, of leaving what you know and love. It is the story of mothers and daughters--a story of love, forgiveness, and the desire to belong., Russian Tattoo  is the story of an immigrant, of leaving what you know and love.  It is the story of mothers and daughters--a story of love, forgiveness, and the desire to belong., Full of vivid imagery and memorable description, this is a wonderful trip into existential bewilderment. As a sequel or a stand-alone, Russian Tattoo is compelling, colourful and hugely enjoyable., This incredibly powerful book slips into your unconscious with charm and warmth and then grabs you by the gut. By the time you reach the end, you'll have experienced the laughter, sorrow, joy, regret, love and hurt of a real life. And you'll have a lump in your throat the size of Petersburg. With a magical command of language, Elena Gorokhova has painted images on my brain I won't forget, as if I'd lived those moments myself. Because, somehow, I did., [An] evocative memoirist building on a fine previous volume ... [Gorokhova] imbues this narrative of the gathering momentum of her assimilation with admirable esprit.
