Notes: A trilogy that follows its characters from Litvinoff's native East End, the first book set around the Siege of Sidney Street in 1911, through the Bolshevik revolution to final disillusionment under Stalin's regime. The critic Valentine Cunningham calls the work a 'a profound salute to Jewish memory' that ranks 'alongside alongside We, 1984, Darkness at Noon and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' as a critique of the Soviet project.
