“Traveling through Finberg’s book is not about moving from point A to point B. There are sunshine, wonder, irony, soft invitations to reflect, lucky finds (real treasures!), and incredible acquaintances, at every page. They are ‘assembly points’—places to join those who walk, read, and work side by side.”
Professor Olena Stiazhkina, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
