A multi-prize-winning debut novel from one of Russia's most exciting new talents
Set against the backdrop of the Volga River, the narrative explores the contrasting worlds of early 20th-century Russia—one marked by revolutionary change and the other by pastoral tranquility. Jakob Bach's forbidden love for Klara Grimm leads to a life of seclusion and personal turmoil after their affair is discovered. As he raises their daughter Anche alone, Jakob's fairy tales reflect the struggles of the Volga German community amid historical upheaval, weaving a rich tapestry of personal and collective resilience from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century.
