It unfolds a family saga that is much more dynamic than classical sagas and at the same time is much more touching and engaging. It is an emotional history of Ukraine with a very well researched and vivid historical background that gives the reader the opportunity to understand not only the characters and their drama, but the entire drama of the country/countries in which they lived without leaving their village.</p><p> Andrei Kurkov</p><p>Maria Matios with her novel Sweet Darusya has boldly and strongly tossed political caution and public taboos to the wind -- and at her own risk has taken us on a cruel journey into our bloody, and no less cruel, historical hell, into the abyss, where it is terrifying to peer.</p><p> Pavlo Zahrebelny</p><p>Ecstatic reactions, many awards, and the large number of readers are tied to its vivid, rich, but almost never sweet language, thanks to which the old world of a Ukrainian village blooms and begins a new life.</p><p> Uli Hufen, Westdeutscher Rundfunk / Germany</p><p> </p><p>With Sweet Darusya, Maria Matios constructs a refined literary monument to the victims of fickle history.</p><p> Gerhard Zellinger, Die Presse / Austria</p><p> </p><p>A disquieting novel.</p><p> Lieselotte Stalzer, Buchhandlung beim Augarten</p><p> </p><p>A heartrending, fantastic book from the land next to the Romanian-Ukrainian border.</p><p> Dorothea Trottenberg, ekz bibliotheksservice</p><p> </p><p>This is a chronicle of Soviet tyranny in Ukraine.</p><p> Vasyl Kapkan, the Lithuanian translator of Sweet Darusya</p><br>
