Description
Anna Luzhbina’s new novel—winner of the “Lyceum” prize.
This is a story about Yarik, a boy from a Karelia village whose familiar life is shattered by the arrival of a strange family. In a world where mourners recite laments at weddings, storytellers weave legends, and birds’ bodies become a pathway for souls, reality is tightly intertwined with ancient beliefs.
When the Krasnovs appear in the village, Yarik finds himself at the very center of a clash between old and new, the living and the dead, good and evil. His path is determined by three women—as three times: the past, the present, and the future. And only a dance can bind them together.
Anna Luzhbina is a prose writer, a finalist of the “Lyceum” prize (2023), author of the collection “Quick-Witted People.” Her work has been published in journals “Druzhba narodov,” “Znamya,” “Novy Mir,” and “Etazhi.” “Kruuga” is her debut novel.
