Vladimir by Julia May Jonas is beautifully written. The imagery of this book had me in a hazy, almost nostalgic state at some moments. The narration flowed so effortlessly.

Our narrator has an exquisite voice and we see the struggle of how the world views women as they mature. The pull between the various roles that women have to take up, mother, lover.
