"Bay Leaves Are Not Eaten" is one of those leisurely reads that makes you forget everything. It's a story of family, love, and the lives of ordinary people born at the beginning of the turbulent, and at times terrifying, 20th century.
1921. Lavrik Lantratov returns to Moscow and immediately finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of events that could and should break the Old Believers. But he must persevere at all costs: survive the collapse of his family home, preserve his faith and himself, and save his loved ones.
At the Alekseevskaya water pumping station, in the orphanage, and at the museum bureau, Lantratov and his entourage are forced to make a difficult choice: to live by their conscience while burning, or to mindlessly drift with the flow.
And what, then, can heal the young man's charred heart? Perhaps love. Thus, Vita, his Lily of the Valley, enters Lavr's life.
1991. Lavr Pavlovich Lantratov, who had lived for almost a century, was writing his will. What remained of that old, distant world? A crocodile-skin reticule, a Karl Votkey barometer, a glass-plate phantascope, and his father's twenty-dollar cigarette case.
And behind each of these simple objects, there's a story.
