The World Literature Today journal (USA) listed Alisa Ganieva’s Bride and Groom among Russian books that should be read right now:
"A story of two young people who return home to Dagestan from Moscow to satisfy their families’ insistence that they marry. Both are forced to balance their respect for tradition with their cosmopolitan understanding of love and romance, but as much as they try, their individual stories are mere fodder for the dysfunctional social order built on systemic corruption and terror".
