About the book: 2022 / The subtle psychologism of the narrative inherent in Maryana Romanova’s books makes the reader believe in the mystical events of her stories. Revolutionary Petrograd, modern Moscow, a strange settlement in the northern forests, a hippie commune of the seventies, a poor village in equatorial Africa - against the backdrop of these scenery, a terrible legend is being investigated that there are people capable of raising the dead from the ground. In an equally fascinating intonation, the author talks about a village in which people disappear, about a woman who falls in love only with old men, about ancient priestly rites, about how people relate to the dead and death, and about what death is at its essence.
