Description

“Auntie’s Kids” is a novel that serves as a vivid example of a family saga. The family portrayed in the book is unique and unlike others—evoking associations with Tolstoy’s works, where each family is happy or unhappy in its own way. The main heroine, Tatiana, after getting married, becomes part of a large noisy family that at first is unfamiliar to her, because her previous life with her mother was quiet and measured. But soon she begins to understand that in this diverse family, where everyone plays their assigned permanent roles, there are certain rules—and watching them is quite fascinating. Over time, she becomes an integral part of this clan, where conflicts and reconciliations happen, gossip and accusations occur—but you can always count on support and care.
