Zhenia is adrift in Los Angeles, pregnant with a baby her husband doesn't want, while her Russian grandmother and favorite person in the world is dying on the opposite coast. She's deeply disconnected from herself and her desires when she gets a strange call from Paul, a psychic medium who usually specializes in channeling dead pets, with a message from the other side. Zhenia's great-grandmother Irina, a Russian Revolutionary, has approached him from a cloud of ancestral grief, desperate to tell her story and receive absolution from Zhenia.
As Irina begins her confession with the help of a purgatorial chorus of grieving Russian ghosts, Zhenia awakens to aspects of herself she hadn't been willing to confront. But does either woman have what the other needs to understand their predicament? Or will Irina be stuck in limbo, with Zhenia plagued by ancestral trauma, and her children after her?
Ferociously funny and deeply moving, Mother Doll forces us to look at how painful secrets stamp themselves from one generation to the next. Katya Apekina's second novel is a family epic and a meditation on motherhood, immigration, identity, and war.

Now she really wants to have a baby and she said I had to read this book.
Really glad that I did. Learned so much from these bomb throwing revolutionary hotties. Nurses wear lipstick, but Bolshevik chicks don’t need it. How much of a creeper was Rasputant? Bro was frisky.
There’s some real babushka life lessons in here. I felt my estrogen levels explode. And finally I understood: Russian women are crazy, but so is everybody and it’s not our fault, but it’s good to understand the reasons we’re such nutcases. And maybe each generation gets a little less nuttier. My girlfriend never traded a winter coat for a rotten potato, but she makes this weird beet stuff that I didn’t like at first but now it’s OK. Beautiful Crazy dolls. Great book.
