But by the time perestroika dawns in the Eighties, the glory of Soviet victory has faded from the collective memory and Ivan begins to lose his way in the new, forward-looking climate. ***In contrast, Ivan's daughter Olya appears to be thriving: as an interpreter with the Moscow International Trade Centre she has access to a prosperous, metropolitan lifestyle far beyond her parent's dreams. But Olya's work is not all it seems, and she slowly begins to realise that for her the price of success may be higher than she is willing to pay.' ***'Masterly' Paul Bailey, Independent Books of the Year - Review quote about A Life's Music. (Quote and review quote taken from the dustwrapper). ***'Andrei Sergeevich Makin is a French novelist. He also publishes under the pseudonym Gabriel Osmonde. Andreï Makine was born in Krasnoyarsk, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union on 10 Sep 1957 and grew up in the city of Penza about 700 kilometres (435 mi) south-east of Moscow. As a boy, having acquired familiarity with France and its language from his French-born grandmother (it is not certain whether Makine had a French grandmother; in later interviews, he claimed to have learned French from a friend), he wrote poems in both French and his native Russian. In 1987, he went to France as a member of a teacher's exchange program and decided to stay. He was granted political asylum and was determined to make a living as a writer in French. However, Makine had to present his first manuscripts as translations from Russian to overcome publishers' skepticism that a newly arrived exile could write so fluently in a second language. Makine's novels include "Dreams of My Russian Summers" (1995) which won two top French awards, the Prix Goncourt and the Prix Médicis. He was elected to seat 5 of the Académie Française on 3 March 2016, succeeding Assia Djebar.'
