Varvarin Island

The artist Andrei Davydov returned to Varvarin Island, where he lived in his childhood with his family. He is disappointed: family life has not worked out, and his career is stagnant. On the way, Andrei helped a woman with a... deaf-mute girl: Klara was going to the island in the hope that the local saint would heal her daughter. A church was built in honor of the saint, but it is oddly located - not on a hill, but in a lowland… Davydov settles into his old house. Over time, he begins to notice something wrong, but for now he cannot understand what it is and attributes everything to coincidences. Finally, Andrei finds an unsent letter from his father. After reading it, he realizes: Varvarin Island is a strange place, it does not rush to let go of those who have found themselves there. Many remain forever, and no one knows how to avoid this fate… The novels of Albina Nuri are a whole world where reality intertwines with mysticism and the otherworld, governed by laws different from the laws of reason. The characters encounter inexplicable phenomena that contradict the ordinary picture of the world, and they will have to go through a lot to return their lives to a familiar course. Albina Nuri's novels are liked by both readers and critics.
