Susanna and Pyotr Strakholyud move to the glorious city of Tobolsk, the capital of Siberia. It seems that everything should be just right for the young family. Two sons and a daughter, a home — a full bowl. But something is eating away at their happiness from within. Susanna tries to placate her husband, but… Good, honest people can sometimes be so ruthless. They will have to go through a lot in order to find each other again. Or… to lose each other? As long as he stays alive…
With the cycle “Women’s Saga,” the story comes to life and becomes real! You will feel what it’s like to be in Russia of the 16th–17th centuries: mowing the grass, spinning in the light of a tallow lamp, thinking about sin and fearing retribution. You’ll reflect on how difficult it is to live without electricity and medicine. Breathe in the scents of “witchcraft” herbs and wrap yourself in the incredible saga of Eleonora Guilm—like in a warm quilted shawl. The fates of women across several generations are told in wonderful books of love and betrayal, temptation and the not-so-easy path to happiness. The Urals and Siberia, Moscow and the Crimean Khanate—this journey will be unforgettable.
