This is an automatically translated description

In the novel Dreams Against Palm Sunday, reality intertwines with the bizarre visions and memories of the protagonist Ulyana. Thirty-three dreams, interspersed with proverbs, sayings, mythological images, and flavoured with words of local dialects, lead the reader through a personal family story closely connected to the tragic circumstances of Ukrainian life in the twentieth century.

This is a baroque mix of grotesque and drama, where death borders on eros, mysticism on inescapable reality, and faith in fate on an alternative version of events.

At the beginning of the novel, a lodger, Nikolai Ivanovich, comes to the house of the widow Ulyana, who constantly locks himself in his hut and conducts his bizarre experiments there. Will he succeed in completing what he has come to do? Where has Volodya disappeared from the old family photos? And who is this child who has suddenly appeared in Ulyana's yard, looking like two peas in a pod, like her long-dead son?
