"My Children" is a new novel by Guzel Yakhina, the most striking debutante in the history of modern Russian literature, winner of the "Big Book" and "Yasnaya Polyana" awards for her bestseller "Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes". "My Children" is an extraordinary novel that continues the author's favorite theme of the amazing interweaving of ethnic groups, cultures, peoples, and human destinies. If in the book "Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes", as the writer and translator Elena Kostyukovich aptly noted, the author "threw us into Siberia and at the same time showed the Tatar spirit in herself, and in Russia, and, one might say, in all of us", then in the new novel it is time for another study - the tragic destinies, bizarre folklore and way of life of the Volga Germans, subsequently destroyed by the deportation of 1941. The Volga region, 1920-1930s. Jakob Bach is a Russian German, a teacher in the Gnadental colony. He has long since turned away from the world, raising his only daughter Anche on a secluded farm and writing magical tales that miraculously and tragically come true. "I wanted to tell about the world of the German Volga region - bright, original, alive - about a world once created by outsiders in a foreign country, and today lost in the past. But this is also a story about how great love gives rise to fears in our hearts and at the same time helps to overcome them." Guzel Yakhina
