In work of Dinah Рубиной there are themes that occupy her during life. One of them is a theme of Рода. How, what laws is an inheritance on personality of family lines? Why just like this, but not does history of one or another family proceed differently? Is it possible to go away from his inherited set? Grandmother, "спивающая" songs and telling to all family wild parables| great-grandmother-gipsy tirelessly "looking" after from skies after it by posterity аж to the ninth knee| other grandmother is a killer, душегубица, absolute victim of the time and indomitable passions. The matrices of many histories entering this book are conditioned by the powerful interlacing of genes that go after us inevitably, recurring in all generations ­of family.
