Wormwood of Wandering. A Tale

The tale by Olga Rozhnova "Wormwood of Wandering" is dedicated to a wide period in world history - from 1904 to 1955. Together with the main heroine Rita, the reader will go through the crucible of trials and experience all... that befell the White émigrés. The events of the book unfold against the backdrop of revolutions, world wars, the collapse of state regimes, and cultural clashes in quiet Kuldzha, free Shanghai, the dangerous Philippine island of Tubabao, unknown Paraguay, and thriving Buenos Aires. Through disbelief and bitterness, feelings of revenge and hatred, the heroine will traverse a difficult path to self-discovery and forgiveness, with Saint John of Shanghai serving as her faithful guide.
"I was fortunate to meet in America the spiritual children of Saint John of Shanghai, who underwent terrible trials and witnessed the most tragic cataclysms of the 20th century. Among them was Baroness Rida von Luelsdorf, whose memories inspired me to create this tale," writes the author.
