Iron Water
by Myroslav Laiuk
Description
Have you ever tried to follow Lesya Ukrainka to the most remote Carpathian village? This 'weak and feeble girl' fearlessly had passed the mountain routes, on a par with everyone. The local people still tell legends about that. What other memories of her, Franko, or the Okunevsky family, apart from the contradictory testimonies were passed down from generation to generation? The novel unfolds a story related to the iconic woman of Ukrainian culture. A woman (the theater director) and a young man, who returns to his native land after a long time - how far are they ready to go in search of a unique letter that could shed light on one of the most mysterious and resonant stories in the history of Ukrainain literature? How did an unknown poetess, a simple hutsul girl, a plowman, and a Bernardine nun follow Lesya at the beginning of the last century? You will find out in the new novel by the author of 'Babornia' and 'The World Not Created', Myroslav Laiuk.
