Once Upon a Time, an Old Man and an Old Woman

The novel «Once Upon a Time, an Old Man and an Old Woman», in the precise words of Maya Kucherskaya, — is a narrative about the fate of a family of Old Believers, abandoned in the early last century to... the Baltic region, where they settled, survived wars by the blue sea, devastation, losses, and still managed to survive, saved by their own loyalty to the simplest, yet most important values. «...This story captivates from the first page and does not let go until the end of the novel. Lively, sometimes comical, sometimes tragic characters, a "tasty" dialect, amusing and precise "family words", touching love and great Russian patience — all of this immediately touches the soul. A beautiful language. Piercing clarity of existence. Continuity of lineage and memory — everything that the true Reader longs for right now...» (Dina Rubina).
