Horror for Newbies
Ana asked this question about Three Apples Fell from the Sky:
I just started reading this book, and I like it: the style, the story, characters. What bothers me a bit is that I cannot figure out what period of time this story is going on? when there is a war, which war? Is this in Soviet era? or is it before? can somebody answer this question please?
Gosia I think that it may happen much more recently - the portrait was hidden from the bolsheviks almost a century ago, so I think it would put the end of t…moreI think that it may happen much more recently - the portrait was hidden from the bolsheviks almost a century ago, so I think it would put the end of the book somewhere around beginning of the 21st century. Also - "the war" lasted 7 years which ww2 obviously didn't. I think it could be the first war of Nagorno Karabach (so late 80s/early 90s), but I'm no expert in Armenian history. And there were at least two or three generations between bolsheviks and "the war" - which again, too early for ww2.
But I feel like in this book it really doesn't matter when and where it happens. Maran is the kind of place which is touched by cyclical disasters (including global ones) but mostly functions outside of time - could be anywhere, anytime. (less)
