Yet in that harsh, desolate wilderness, she begins to build a new life for herself and discovers an inner strength she never knew she had. Zuleikha is exiled to Siberia and forced to leave behind everything she knows. Or so it seems to Zuleikha, until the day her husband is executed by communist soldiers. While Russia reels in the aftermath of its recent revolution, life in her small Tatar village is relatively untouched.
Biddible and meek, she has resigned herself to brutal treatment at the hands of her cruel husband and the carping of her despotic mother-in-law. RUNNER-UP FOR THE EBRD LITERATURE PRIZE, 2020 SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 READ RUSSIA PRIZE.
WINNER OF THE BIG BOOK AWARD, THE LEO TOLSTOY YASNAYA POLYANA AWARD AND THE BEST PROSE WORK OF THE YEAR AWARD. Please note the date change to the 18th due to unexpected travel
