“The Lot of the Righteous Sinners. The Return” is the third part of the large-scale historical saga by Natalia Nesterova.

The Great Patriotic War. The Siege of Leningrad. The Medvedev family will face the most severe life trials, a series of gains and losses—they will have to experience the limitless power of the human spirit, and endure a great deal of sorrow. This book is about the strength and weakness of people, about self-sacrifice and women’s love that rises like a curse or a blessing—tearing apart ties with loved ones and destroying hope for the future, but also helping them stand firm in the war against a cruel enemy, because it gives the loving woman immense strength. The lives of the novel’s heroes, like the lives of millions of people, fit within the historical boundaries of the existence of the Soviet state.
