The portrayal of Communist and post-1991 Russia is brilliantly done and made the story so much more than 'just' a romance.

Preface
Zebra Fish is volume 3 of 3 in Love Is Never Past Tense. This epic story traces two lives across decades and continents. The story so far …
Drawn together in Russia on a romantic Black Sea beach, Serge and Janna fell headlong in love and rushed into marriage. Their divorce, months later, led to years of if only...
Pressured apart by family and fate, they repeatedly crossed paths, never quite reconnecting, never quite letting go. Changes in the world and their careers caused them to surrender to external influences.
There could hardly have been a worse time for them to be in the Soviet Union. With the country on the verge of collapse, their secure lives turned into a desperate struggle for survival. Serge faced economic turmoil and personal demons within the country. For Janna, social pressure and sectarian violence led to escape in America, separating them in both time and distance
Then, the new century brought new opportunity. Memories of passionate love spawned emails and international calls, reviving an intimate, romantic connection. Over hours, then days, they catch up on each other’s lives over drinks and dinner, fun and fireplace chat.
The coals burn down. Serge’s eyelids are closing. He sighs. It is a farewell sigh. He
