The Women of Lazarus

The novel “Women of Lazarus” is a cult novel, winner of many literary awards, a family saga spanning the 20th century. It’s a novel of great love and great dislike. Lazar Lindt, a brilliant scientist and a big child, is the center of infernal personal histories of three remarkable women. He will love Marusia, his elder friend’s childless wife, not with a son’s love—but that will remain his secret. After the war, in a closed city N, the Soviet science luminary will fall head over heels for a young Galina and will literally steal her into “another life”—but he will earn only fierce hatred.

The third “Woman of Lazarus,” Lidocka, a granddaughter orphan, will inherit his genius, but she will dream of only one thing—to find her own home, full of warmth and the creak of real floorboards.

... “Literature is born where the author’s imagination meets the reader’s imagination. But if you add to this the magic of a voice and the talent of a great actor, you get real magic. Or an audiobook. Thank you to everyone involved in creating the audio version of ‘Women of Lazarus.’ You made a real miracle. Thank you to everyone who will listen to this book. The next miracle is yours” (Marina Stepnova).
