Flesh Coloured Dominoes by Zigmunds Skujiņš
Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Latvia and the Soviet era, this novel weaves together two seemingly disparate narratives: one following the life of a young nobleman navigating the complexities of love and power, and the other exploring the surreal experiences of a Soviet-era writer grappling with identity and memory. As the stories unfold, they reveal a tapestry of historical intrigue, personal ambition, and the timeless quest for meaning, ultimately converging in a reflection on the fluidity of time and the interconnectedness of human experience.
