Narrator Irina Vorobyova

Elena Katishonok’s new novel continues the dilogy “There Once Was an Old Man and an Old Woman” and “Counterclockwise.” In the same old city live the descendants of the Ivanovs. In a strange way, the fates of the characters intersect in the Old House from the novel “When a Man Leaves,” and the past presses in into the present—boldly and inevitably. The Second World War through the eyes of a young “o-starbayter” girl; a brutal struggle in science remembered by a quirky literary scholar; an old political game that drives a person into an insane asylum…

LIGHT IN THE WINDOW is a novel about love and bitterness. About overcoming fear. About the goal in life—and life’s wholeness. The heroes, long become close to thousands of readers; the unique intonation of a brilliant master of Russian prose, winner of the “Yasnaya Polyana” prize.
