Описание книги

The novel under consideration describes the events throughout nearly a hundred years and sends the reader to Warsaw, subdued by tsarist Russia,to the gold mines of Western Siberia,where you can come across any kind of crime, including murder.Revolutions, wars, of which 20th century undoubtedly abounds, throw a Ukrainian woman’s fate like a furious wind does to a paper doll .The country is captured by Bolsheviks. Disguised as seekers of happy life for poor people, they fight for power: first in their own country ,then – throughout the world. To gain this terrific goal they introduce dictatorship. Despite disorders, epidemics, hunger, caused by the new government, the heroine of the novel managed to not only survive, but to raise her children. Times changed, as well as the rulers, but the aim remained. It was fight for power. And the woman, under the circumstances, had nothing to do but just supply cheap labor force. Three main heroines of the trilogy are connected not only by family relations but by the mystic story of an ancient necklace which by magic force returns to its true owner.

There used to lay a boulder there. It was a boulder at the corner of Bazarna Street and Moskovska Street. A boulder you could sit on when your sweetheart was late (to say honestly, that scenario had already become habitual).Those two even invented a saying whose secret message was comprehensible only to them. She used to say: “You will have to sit on the boulder”. That is, to wait until she spruces up.

It’s boiling hot. Katrusya[1] is walking next to me – she has been promised to be taken to the beach.

Finally the newlyweds left the church. “What a nice couple!” was heard now and then. The druzhba had got his hands stiff – the groom was rather tall to hold the wedding crown over his head for quite a time. The procession headed for the groom’s homestead. Before the porch Stas promptly raised Agatha as if she were just a feather and brought her into the room. The old belief demands that to be done to trick the evil forces. Presumably, they won’t notice the new dweller if she doesn’t set foot on the porch on the first day.

The gusts were very hungry, awaiting for the young couple to return. No wonder! The tables were abundant with delicious food and drinks: korovai[16], roasted piglet, kholodets[17], borshch[18] and dumplings, fried chicken… Before trying another dish the guests would cry: “The borshch is bitter! The cabbage is bitter!”[19]. That was repeated until the groom figured out what he was expected to do: kiss his young wife.
