I am always lost when a character shows back up later in a book, even if my full attention is in reading the book. I would say that it has to do with getting old, but it happened to me all the time. I cannot tell you how often I have had to go back in a book looking for who the hell this character is.

Now you don't have to ask me why I will never read another Russian novel.
