The Garden is a new novel by Marina Stepnova, author of the bestseller The Women of Lazarus (Big Book Award), the novels The Surgeon, The Godless Lane, and the collection Somewhere Under Grosseto.
Mid nineteenth century. The Prince and Princess Boryatinsky have a late and unexpected child - a girl who literally ruins a family that previously seemed ideal. Tusya from the very beginning is not like everyone else. In the strict framework of a society full of conventions, when everyone first of all belongs to the family, and not to himself, she behaves like an absolutely - abnormally even - independent person. She makes decisions herself - when to be born and when to speak. How to behave, what to get involved in, whom to love or hate. A story about how difficult it is to be a free person in an unfree world. “This is a novel that has grown entirely out of Russian literature of the nineteenth century, but the era of decadence and the Silver Age seems to be on its heels, and modernity leaves marks in the margins.” (Elena Shubina)
