Description

Women’s destinies are always at the center of Maria Metlitskaya’s attention. Every reader, after finishing her book, can confidently say that it has become better and easier in the soul: a warm tone, life situations, recognizable characters—all of this has a psychotherapeutic effect. «A House in Mansurovo» is a novel about family—about how family ties, love received in the early years, keep us safe through the complicated adult life.

Sisters Yulia and Marusya Nitochkin were born into a happy, very close-knit family. Their father, Alexander Yevgenyevich, a professor at Moscow University, adored his daughters. The stepmother, Asya—who even by language couldn’t be called by that unpleasant word—loved them fiercely and selflessly. In the lives of Yulia and Marusya there were enough hardships, but their parents’ love was always their protection.

Family is the most important thing, no matter what happens. That’s what Asya used to say—and Yulia and Marusya repeatedly proved it. And even a family secret that fell out of the closet at the most inappropriate moment never separated the sisters; it only strengthened their bond. Faith that good times come after bad ones helped them not despair at the difficult moment. And the reader believes along with them: the best times will surely come—otherwise it can’t be.
