Russian sentences begin backward, Sophia Shalmiyev tells us on the first page of her striking lyrical memoir. To understand the end of her story, we must go back to the beginning. Born to a Russian mother and an Azerbaijani father, Shalmiyev was raised in the stark oppressiveness of 1980s Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), where anti-Semitism and an imbalance of power were omnipresent in her home. At just eleven years old, Shalmiyev's father stole her away to America, forever abandoning her estranged alcoholic mother, Elena. Motherless on a tumultuous voyage to the states, terrified in a strange new land, Shalmiyev depicts in urgent, poetic vignettes her emotional journeys through an uncharted world as an immigrant, artist, and, eventually, as a mother of two. As an adult, Shalmiyev voyages back to Russia to search endlessly for the mother she never knew- in her pursuit, we witness an arresting, impassioned meditation on art-making, gender politics, displacement, and most potently, motherhood. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Shalmiyev, Sophia,|d1978- 600 10 Shalmiyev, Sophia,|d1978-|xFamily. 650 0 Russians|zOregon|vBiography. 650 0 Immigrants|zOregon|vBiography. 650 0 Mothers and daughters|zRussia (Federation)|vBiography. 650 0 Return migration|zRussia (Federation)|vBiography. 700 1 Shalmiyev, Sophia. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12615453?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ sas_9781508284420_180.jpeg
