Summary
Contrary to popular Russian stereotypes, Yelena Belova does not like alcohol.It may seem like she does. She lifts shot glasses to her lips as easily as she breathes and swallows them down like it's water. But she was raised on the clinking of bottles, flutes of champagne, and the bitter burn of vodka.When she gets free, when she’s allowed to quit, she can’t. Try as she might, she’s addicted to the very thing that brings so much pain.
