"Take Care of Your Braid, Varvarushka" is a series of short stories and novellas set in a village by the Pinega River. Snow, a vast river sleeping beneath the ice, a high sky. The narrator, whatever her name—Varvarushka, Marfa, or Lyubushka—is connected to this place, even if she's physically far away. Here, the heroine experiences everything for the first time—family history, her own destiny, friendship, love, loss.
This book is about the relationship with the place that shaped you, and how these relationships aren't always simple. Zabortseva's Russian North has a mythological dimension; life here is inscribed in a calendar cycle. Varvarushka sets out in search of her grandfather and the house spirit, Marfa plans to build a house, and the nameless heroine of "Pinega" bids farewell to her father on his final journey.
