I Married A Russian: Letters From Kharkov is a memoir written by Lucie Street, chronicling her experiences as an American woman who fell in love with a Russian man and moved to Kharkov, Ukraine to start a new life with him. The book is comprised of a collection of letters that Lucie wrote to her family and friends back home, documenting her struggles and triumphs as she navigated a new culture, language, and way of life.Lucie shares intimate details about her relationship with her husband, including the challenges they faced due to cultural differences and the long-distance nature of their courtship. She also provides insights into life in Soviet-era Ukraine, including the scarcity of basic necessities like food and clothing, the challenges of navigating the bureaucracy, and the pervasive influence of the government on everyday life.Throughout the book, Lucie's love for her husband and her adopted country shines through, even in the face of adversity. Her letters provide a vivid and captivating portrait of life in Kharkov during a tumultuous time in history, and offer a unique perspective on the complexities of cross-cultural relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
