Medeia i ee deti [Medea and Her Children]

Medea and her children by Lyudmila Ulitskaya is one of the most interesting experiences in building a new family romance. Everything came together here: the unsurpassed ability of the author to tell the stories of a private person, and the fluency in mythological strata, and relevance, and even ideology. The main character - the childless Medea Sinopli, the namesake of ancient Medea - is also a kind of deity for the whole large ramified family. Only she does not kill, but collects, unites, glues fragile intra-family bonds with her blood.
