A Fascinating Book
We talk about how lucky we are in the modern world to have freedom and choices. I don't think we truly understand how fortunate we are unless we have experienced what the author Ian Williams did in his lifetime.
This captivating book is an eye opening account/diary of life in the former USSR, the story is told with such compassion and detail of day to day living and the beauty of Armenia. The contrast of then working in Silicone Valley at it's peak does leave you deep in thought.
What an experience the author has had, and one he has shared through his fascinating book.
