Yesterday's high school student, an airy young lady, brought up on Pushkin's poems, turns into a loving woman and selfless mother. For her small family life, the big historical upheavals of the early 20th century are simple everyday life, when death is a common occurrence; when you are used to the fear that you will take a letter from the envelope from someone who is no longer there. And it is impossible to protect yourself from suffering. But they not only bend down to the ground, but also direct upward. “The Young Lady” is the first novel in the family saga, conceived by the author in three books.
