Fates Dance in a Round

How long has it been since you met with friends for an open, heartfelt conversation? It must have been in another lifetime! “Fate leads them in a circle dance” is a good alternative to a warm, friendly get-together. The characters in these stories teach us how to live, how to love, how to find compromises in relationships with loved ones—and also how to be happy despite everything. With them, we experience both their life’s successes and failures, empathize and compare ourselves: “But it really happened to me, too!” This sense of involvement turns the reader from a detached observer into a participant in events unfolding with the characters. The trusting tone of the stories, attention to details, and recognizable everyday situations make Lana Barsukova’s prose a book you read “for the soul.”
