Жили-были старик со старухой

The novel "Once upon a time there was an old man with an old woman", according to the exact word of Maya Kucherskaya, is a story about the fate of a family of Old Believers who were abandoned at the beginning of the last century in the Ostsee region, settled there, survived wars, ruin, losses by the blue sea and yet survivors, saved by their own loyalty to the simplest, but the main values. "... This story captures from the first page and does not let go until the end of the novel. Lively, sometimes comical, sometimes tragic characters, "delicious" dialect, funny and accurate "family words", touching love and great Russian patience - all this immediately takes for the soul. Beautiful language. Penetrating clarity of being. Continuity of kind and memory - all that a real Reader yearns for now..."
