Sweet Darusya - A Tale Of Two...

Maria Matios

'To my mind Maria Matios's Sweet Darusya is the best contemporary Ukrainian novel written since Ukrainian Independence in 1991. It reveals a family saga that is much more dynamic than classical sagas and at the same time is much more touching and engaging. It is an emotional history of Ukraine with a very well researched and vivid historical background that gives the reader the opportunity to understand not only the characters and their drama, but the entire drama of the country/countries in which they lived without leaving their village.' –Andrei Kurkov 
 
 
 
'Maria Matios with her novel Sweet Darusya has boldly and strongly tossed political caution and public taboos to the wind—and at her own risk has taken us on a cruel journey into our bloody, and no less cruel, historical hell, into the abyss, where it is terrifying to peer.' –Pavlo Zahrebelny 
 
 
 
'Ecstatic reactions, many awards, and the large number of readers are tied to its vivid, rich, but almost never sweet language, thanks to which the old world of a Ukrainian village blooms and begins a new life.' –Uli Hufen, Westdeutscher Rundfunk / Germany
