Riga Balsam [Russian]

By Tatiana Sheremeteva

"Life is like Riga Black Balsam: bitter and sweet, syrupy and glittering with innumerous meanings..."

The new mesmerizing novel by acclaimed prose writer Tatiana Sheremeteva is a story of how human destinies get miraculously intertwined with one another. A variety of characters have entered the narrative of their own accord-often without the author's permission-bringing with them lives that bridge times and spaces:

- The eternal city of Riga and an old Moscow courtyard;

- Russian Army officers, World War I, nobility and peasantry;

- Bestuzhev Courses female students and Stalinist labor camps;

- Vilainy and chivalry, mysticism and reality.

This is a sweeping psychological drama about a past that sometimes happens to be more relevant than it seems.
