Read Ebook Taxi to Siberia, by Katherine Kelly-Bruss
The power generation industry in New Russia is no ordinary market. But this young American sales engineer is no ordinary businesswoman. In the persona of sexy and impulsive Katey O'Hara, author Kelly-Bruss provides a humorous, honest and sometimes outrageous portrayal of her experiences in Russia in the mid-1990s. Her unconventional heroine launches a quest for love, power and money in the post-Soviet world of high voltage technology, chasing after the wrong men, trusting the wrong people, and drinking much too much vodka on the wrong occasions. The author personally visited every location mentioned in the book and most of her heroine's encounters are factual, with only the names being changed and a few fictional scenes added or facts sometimes exaggerated solely for the sake of entertainment. Kelly-Bruss herself posed for the cover photo, wearing the same boots and carrying the same Swiss handbag which faithfully accompanied her on her Russian travels.

About the Author Katherine 'Katey' Kelly-Bruss was born in 1966 in a small Michigan town on Lake Huron's northern shore. She studied creative writing at the Interlochen Arts Academy where she earned her high school diploma, followed by a BA in Russian from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and an MA in Russian from Middlebury College in Vermont, including a year of language study at the Pushkin Institute in Moscow. She then went on to earn a second bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Kelly-Bruss was employed by two major European power generation companies from 1995 to 1998 as a sales engineer for the Russian market, an experience which became the subject of her current book. Kelly-Bruss moved to Germany in 1998 and is currently living with her two sons, her German boyfriend 'Lobster' and her little dog Max in a small Franconian town where she works full-time as a free-lance technical translator. In her free time, she enjoys long walks with her dog, reading a large variety of books and playing a complicated Bavarian barroom card game called 'Schafkopf'. Although Kelly-Bruss originally wrote her story more than 10 years ago, it was not until after battling advanced ovarian cancer in 2014 that she fulfilled a goal set during her illness to complete and publish 'Taxi to Siberia', her first novel.

It was a terrific read! Darkly funny, VERY entertaining, and amazingly well-written. The descriptions of people and events were vivid and filled with wry humor. The book provides a lively, shocking, but accurate depiction of the crazy world of Russian business shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union: the sexism! the vodka! the bribes! It is told from the perspective of a woman who leapt into that world knowing little about it and who subsequently survived through massive amounts of chutzpah, feminine wiles, and vodka. At the same time, the narrator manages to very honestly convey her own feelings and foibles...her desperation for love, success, and self-worth come through loud and clear, so the book is simultaneously a poignant character study. Note: the book has lots of sex and drinking. There's nothing gratuitous here, but this is definitely not a book for those with delicate sensibilities. Well done, Katey; I surely hope we will see more writing from you in the future.

Too much drinking and sexual content By Doris There was so much drinking and sexual content that I kind of lost interest in the book - I did finish it though. I just couldn't imagine the need for the main character to indulge in the constant drinking and knowing that she would have horrible hangovers all the time. Regardless of the fact that there might have been insults to her hosts, I felt she could have limited the drinking somehow. And the sexual activity was a little much - I am not a prude, but certainly there is a limit. What a reputation she had!
