„In 1989, Marianna, the beautiful star soprano at the Lviv opera, is shot dead in the street as she leads the Ukrainian citizens in their protest against Soviet power. Only eleven years old at the time, her daughter tells the story of their family before and after that critical moment – including, ten years later, her own passionate affair with an older, married man“ – the description from MacLehose press, British publisher of the novel.

The novel has been translated into 5 languages: Ukrainian, English, Russian, French and German. The 6 language (Spanish) is work in progress. In 2019 her second novel „The Island“ had been published and translated into Ukrainian language so far.
