“Manko’s debut novel, The Invention of Exile, is a beautifully written story of Austin Voronkov, a Russian inventor who immigrates to the U.S., but through a series of unfortunate events, finds himself without a country. Filled with poignant insights on what it means to belong, Manko gives readers a sweeping, masterfully-told story spanning continents and years, all through the tender voice of this determined immigrant and engineer, who relentlessly works to reverse his fate and return home.” Anderson McKean, Page & Palette, Fairhope, AL
