South Wind

After her mother dies, Sasha returns to her hometown, Yuzhny Veter, to live with her brother Zhenya. She dreams of finding a home—and herself—again. But… Zhenya doesn’t talk, fences herself off from the outside world, and soon will lose her legal capacity altogether. The head doctor of the local mental hospital promises to bring Zhenya back to life, and Sasha starts a radio club for patients at the hospital. But the sharp investigative reports that are becoming increasingly popular are clearly not beneficial for someone in Yuzhny Veter… Will radio help the hospital patients and Zhenya—or will Sasha’s abyss, where her dark memories splash around, swallow everyone who happens to be nearby? The novel “Yuzhny Veter” is included in the longlist of the National Bestseller literary award 2022.
