A saga 225 years long, told through the crossing histories of five families of different social rank and status, and of historical figures linked in one way or another to Bukovyna. As in the author's other books, language itself is a character, with its lexical richness and Hutsul charm, and the narrative keeps returning to how much a person can bear.
