The House on Bird Island. Book One: Born to Be Second

“Born to Be Second” is the first part of a new romance series “The House on the Bird Island” by popular blogger and writer Tasha Muliar, the author of bestsellers “Love Without Copies,” “Games with the Sky,” “The Dance of the Dragonfly,” and more. This is the beginning of the story about a heroine named Vasilisa, who has to go through many trials before she truly understands herself and finds her real happiness. The novel begins in the 1980s in the settlement of Dolzhskaya on the shores of the Sea of Azov. Vasilisa has an ordinary—though in its own way joyful—life within a large family. From childhood, she helps her mother with the household and looks after her younger sister, obeys her father and older brother. But as she grows older, she notices that the way of life accepted in their family starts to weigh on her, relationships with her relatives become increasingly complicated, and her first love finally flips her familiar reality upside down.
