Ветер уносит мертвые листья

"The Wind Carries Dead Leaves" is the second novel by the "Lyceum" award-winning author Ekaterina Manoilo that raises the question of guilt and responsibility, deserved punishment, and family secrets that can ruin many lives. Here, as in her debut book... "Father Looks West," the problem of fathers and children is addressed, but the author offers the reader to look at it from a completely different angle. Two sisters forced to flee home, a mother who left the family for a beautiful life, a father seeking a substitute for his wife who betrayed him in his elder daughter, deceit, despair, murder, pursuit — before us is both a sharply social prose and a road movie, which is so rarely found in Russian literature.
