Book 2. Almost never the other way round
The family saga in the novels &Authority Never the Other Way Round» by the outstanding Ukrainian writer Maria Matios is not inferior to her famous &Sweet Darusya» in terms of writing skills and depth of presentation.
«It is not the time that matters, but the person in the circumstances of the time» — the writer reveals this thesis through the dramatic story of several Hutsul families during the First World War. Great passions of ordinary people, a light haze of mysticism, eternal dilemmas of Love and Hate, Sin and Redemption, a multi-tiered plot...
Each character in this extraordinary drama has an indisputable alibi, unchallenged truth and their own courts of honour. This means that they have the right to act in ways that no logic or written law can foresee. The laws of honour are in conflict with the laws of the heart, because it has been so for centuries, and it is almost never the other way round.
The long-awaited new novel by the leading Ukrainian writer Maria Matios «Beech Land» — is a poignant, profound and daring 225-year saga that weaves through the cross-history 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 frame of this classic novel is a special story from Stanytsia Luhanska in the summer of 2014. And as always in Maria Matios' books, the language with its unique vocabulary and Hutsul charm is a separate character.
