Description
Lives, times, feelings. A new novel by Katya Kachur, narrated by stars of Russian cinema.
The novel by Katya Kachur features stars of Russian cinema such as Ekaterina Shpitsa, Ksenia Treister, Alexandra Revenko, and Artëm Koshman.
The Ginzburg family begins in hot postwar Tashkent, where the aromas of the Eastern bazaar mix with the smells of communal kitchens. Here adults argue and cry in cramped apartments, while children play detectives, investigating a real crime. The family saga leads the reader through Samara’s village and the cold North all the way to Moscow—showing the history of the country: from postwar devastation to the anxieties of the new century.
"Entomology for the Nervous" is a novel made up of stories, each of which is like a rare specimen in the collection of a passionate entomologist: the delicate silkworm of fragile childhood, the fluttering dragonfly of first love, and an entire hive of family passions with a bee-queen great-grandmother at its head.
Detective secrets are uncovered by children, the village atmosphere preserves the echo of war, and quiet poetry turns into deep drama. All of this comes together into a grand narrative about lives and the смена епох, about love and the role of a mother, about choice and friendship—about everything that makes a family a family.
