A collection of New Year stories about miracles from popular modern authors. Among the characters are children and adults, and sometimes even mythical creatures; all of them remind us that real festive magic is born close to loved ones. “Family circumstances” bring together stories and essays about one’s family and the dearest circle of people—those who, in their own way, know how to show care and love. On the pages of the book you’ll meet parents and children, grandmothers and grandfathers, friends of the family, and sometimes even people with whom it’s difficult—but without whom it’s impossible to imagine yourself. On the eve of New Year, the authors invite you to look into different family stories and feel again: family is the most important thing. The idea’s author is Anna Popova. Editor-compiler is Veronika Dmitrieva. Authors: E. G., Matveyeva A., Dragunsky D. V., and others. Publishing house “AST,” 2025.
