"Garden" - a new novel by Marina Stepnova, the bestselling author of "Women of Lazarus" (Big Book Award), the novels "Surgeon", "Godless Lane" and the collection "Somewhere under Grosseto".
The middle of the nineteenth century. Prince and Princess Boryatinsky born late and no one expected a child - a girl, which literally ruins the family, before it seemed ideal. Tusya from the very beginning is not like everyone else. In the strict framework of society, full of conventions, when anyone primarily belongs to the family, and not to himself, she behaves as an absolutely - abnormally even - independent person. She makes her own decisions - when to be born and when to speak. How to behave, what to be fond of, who to love or hate. A story about how hard it is to be a free person in an unfree world. "This is a novel that all grew out of Russian literature of the nineteenth century, but the era of decadence and the Silver Age seems to be stepping on its heels, and modernity leaves marks in the margins." (Elena Shubina)
