This is an automatically translated description
The collection of short stories by Canadian poet and writer Maryann Mycros gives a sense of the magic of life, in which the incomprehensible coexists naturally alongside the understandable and familiar, myth grows out of pragmatic and everyday reality and is embodied in each subsequent generation.
The thirteen stories are written in a simple, transparent language that is more characteristic of inner reflections. Perhaps that is why they give a sense of intimacy that cannot be created artificially and which allows you not only to grasp the plot of the story, but also to experience it and find yourself in it. Mycros' characters naturally accept the incomprehensible and mystical into their lives, deal with the evil eye and the evil spell, and know how to make illnesses go away and talk to the dead. They do not lie to themselves, but at the same time they do not despair of their own truth, no matter how bitter it may be. The women of Mikros stand firmly on the ground where they have to create their lives. The stories are set in different countries, in different times and under different circumstances.
In the seemingly bizarre world of Maryann Mycros, there is an inspiration of search and acceptance, a desire to understand oneself and the world, and a sense of the mystical fusion of everything that has been, is and will be.
