The year is 1998, the End of History. The Soviet Union is dissolved, the Cold War is over, and Bunny Glenn is an American teenager in Azerbaijan with her Foreign Service family. Through Bunny’s eyes we watch global interests flock to the former Soviet Union during the rush for Caspian oil and pipeline access, hear rumbles of the expansion of the American security state and the buildup to the War on Terror.

Well told and thought provoking
Revisado: 03-02-24
The book: well told blend of coming of age, and from international oil to energy transition and a preview of the future. Intricate details surely borrowed in part from the authors personal experience but this lends authenticity. I listened to this story while traveling to work with energy companies, and spent time in Baku, where the story starts, and it brought back memories.
The audio book: reading generally worked well for voice of protagonist Bunny/Elizabeth. But - several recurring mispronunciations are distracting, particularly as the book highlights the pronunciation of Schlumberger, Errors include “Armaco” instead of “a-RAM-co,” “Ka-zak-a-stan” instead of “Kaz-akh-stan” the Texas city Vidor should be “Vie-der” but also noted on “promulgate” and a few other non-proper nouns.
