Riga Balsam

"Life is like Riga Black Balsam: bitter and sweet, syrupy and glittering with innumerous meanings..."The new mesmerizing novel by acclaimed prose writer Tatiana Sheremeteva is a story of how human destinies get miraculously intertwined with one another. A variety of characters have entered the narrative of their own accord-often without the author's permission-bringing with them lives that bridge times and spaces:¿ The eternal city of Riga and an old Moscow courtyard;¿ Russian Army officers, World War I, nobility and peasantry;¿ Bestuzhev Courses female students and Stalinist labor camps;¿ Vilainy and chivalry, mysticism and reality.This is a sweeping psychological drama about a past that sometimes happens to be more relevant than it seems.
