Daisy Peshkov, a driven social climber, cares only for popularity and the fast set until war transforms her life, while her cousin Volodya carves out a position in Soviet intelligence that will affect not only this war but also the war to come., "This book is truly epic. . . .

- t***t (303)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book was shipped very quickly and item price was also good. My only complaint is the shipping packaging. This book came loosely placed in a plastic bag so I can't tell if the damage to the dust jacket happened in shipping or it was already in that condition. But, as I already stated, the overall price was good so I shouldn't really complain. Overall, I've had positive experience with hpb-ruby so I'd still definitely recommend buying from them.
- 0***2 (613)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseInitially I was mistakingly sent the wrong book. The seller quickly responded to my message and immediately corrected the situation by providing me the correct book at no additional cost. The item arrived in excellent condition and in a timely manner. Customer service and communication were excellent. Thank you so much!
- i***l (169)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book pictured/described in the listing isn't the book received. I accept partial blame as I didn't notice the listing title and the book title don't match. The book received has obvious signs of water damage but is still usable. I contacted the seller and was given the option to return the book but I don't have time to deal with it so I'm going to keep it. I'm leaving positive feedback because I did receive a quick response and a resolution to the problem from the seller.
