I thought the review of "Snowdrops" was rather generous. Any semi-intelligent reader would glom on to the set-up that our anti-hero Nicholas fell for. This was only slightly more credible than the "confession" to the anonymous finance - after all, who in their right mind would stay committed to this guy after reading this 'memoir' (?). Finally, I lost a good bit of respect for the Man Booker after seeing this book on the list of nomimees - maybe it's a lean year. In fairness I must say that the description of an ex-pat's four years in today's Russia felt real and was most interesting. Ken
