This novel hits straight to the heart. Ljudmila Ulitzkaja. Suleika is a Tatar farmer. Intimidated and without rights, the mother of four children who died in infancy lives on the farm of her much older husband. Her journey to find herself leads through hell, the Siberia of those deported by Stalin. A moving and masterful debut that has been translated into 21 languages. It has won numerous awards, including the Great Book Award in 2015 and the Jasnaya Poljana Prize in 2015. "For me, it remains a mystery how such a young author has managed to create such a powerful work." Ljudmila Ulitzkaja.
