This is an automatically translated description

The Whirlpool of Lost Souls is an adventurous novel about the journey of a Ukrainian emigrant.

At the beginning of the two thousandth year, university graduate Anya tries to assert herself as a teacher, and later as an entrepreneur, but fails. Her point of no return is an illegal job in an Italian hotel. Over time, she overcomes the difficult steps on the way to her new status as a French citizen and employee of a respected diplomatic institution. Giftedness, a sharp mind and a special mental disposition help a young woman to adapt to life in other countries and to realise herself with dignity as a person.

Anya, not least because of her background (her mother is a Gypsy), sometimes resorts to unconventional methods of influencing a situation when it seems insoluble to any other person. The heroine resembles the mythical mistletoe plant («Mistletoe Flower» is the first title of the novel). The plant has a dual nature, which allows it to withstand any difficult conditions. On the one hand, it is a poisonous parasite, on the other hand, it is a source for a cure for madness and even, moreover, a Christmas bouquet for good luck. Such fatal and contradictory sides of Ana's nature were fully experienced by those men who sought her favour.
