Not Far From Here

Best friends Eva and Nika haven't seen or spoken to each other for ten years, and now they finally meet — only to immediately have to go on the run. On their long journey from Rostov-on-Don to Vladivostok, they will have to face FSB agents, bandits, bad weather, illnesses, hunger, and — what is even more terrifying — their own past.
