Book 1. The Slippers of the Mother of God

The novel The Slippers of the Mother of God by the prominent Ukrainian writer Maria Matios tells about one of the most painful tragedies of the twentieth century in what historian Timothy Snyder calls "the bloody lands".

Book 2. Beech Land

The long-awaited new novel by leading Ukrainian writer Maria Matios, The Land of Beech, is a poignant, deep, and daring saga spanning 225 years, weaving through the intersecting stories of five families of different social levels and status, as well as historical figures who are somehow connected to Bukovyna. Farmers, cattle breeders, warriors, ambassadors, and ministers appear as full-fledged creators of not only private but also European history. It is not for nothing that the author defined the genre of her work as a panorama novel. The geography of its events stretches from the tiny Bukovinian village of Siruk to Vienna, Berlin, Bucharest, Moscow, and Bern. And the setting of this classic novel is a special story from Stanytsia Luhanska in the summer of 2014. And as always in Maria Matios's books, the language with its unique lexical luxury and Hutsul charm is a separate character.
