The book by Irina Vladimirovna Golovkina (1904-1989), the granddaughter of the great Russian composer Nikolai Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov, is a work of rare power, depth and sincerity. This is a story about people who accomplished a feat of honor, a truly tragic chronicle of several aristocratic families who did not leave Russia after the revolution and the Civil War and ended up in the heat of repression. The novel is permeated with the bitter poetry of people defeated (hence its second name), but not surrendered - in the most difficult circumstances they retain their dignity and ideals, their almost mystical love for the Motherland. This is not just a testament to the past, but a story of feelings, loyalty, betrayal, perseverance - a living life with all its joys and sorrows. The novel was first published in the early 1990s after the death of the author and became a real bibliographic rarity. This bitter and majestic family saga will no doubt win the hearts and souls of millions of readers.
