Elena Zeyfert's novel consists of a multitude of individual stories of the characters: among them are Lukas, who came with his family from Germany to Russia, Mariyka, deported from the Volga region to Kazakhstan, Ukrainian Germans Friedrich and Rosa, and our contemporary Johanna. Each of their destinies belongs to its own historical period, each revealing its own tragedy - personal and collective. Carefully collected by the author, intertwined into a common plot and united by the image of a melting pot, these stories turn into a poignant and profound reflection on the eternally relevant human experience - on loss and the search for home. Elena Zeyfert is a prose writer, poet, translator, literary critic, and philologist, specializing in the history of Russian Germans.
