The Miracle of Midsummer Night

Warm, ironic stories about women who live “as it turns out,” remember “how it was,” dream “how it should be,” and laugh—even when they feel like crying. Here you’ll find quiet grief from loss, funny everyday troubles, and tender moments when the scent of lilac brings back happiness.

A reissue from a recognized master of sentimental prose!

Large print—for comfortable reading, with love.

Klim knew how to weave lace from metal, creating real works of art in his forge, and for a long time work was the main meaning of his life. But meeting Polina showed him that there can be another life too. This girl was like a drop of life-giving dew—just as beautiful and pure. No wonder that she captivated the stern blacksmith at the first moment of their meeting, and the magical night of Ivan Kupala swept them up into its dance, igniting bright flame in their hearts.
