Rysslands 1900-talshistoria skildrad genom tre kvinnoden Nr Lasarus som artonring kommer till Moskva blir han blixtfrlskad i Marusia, en barnls kvinna som r trettio r ldre n han och som endast besvarar hans hemliga krlek med moderskrlek. Inte frrn p lderns hst frlskar sig Lasarus p nytt, nu i den fyrtio r yngre Galina, en knslokall sknhet som blir mor till hans son Borik. Mellan dessa bda krlekar s lngt tskilda i tid pendlar Lasarus liv. Men det r den tredje krleken barnbarnet Lidotjka som blir den livsavgrande. Lasarus kvinnor r en vacker och gripande berttelse om tre kvinnor frn tre olika generationer och om tre hgst olika slags krlek, en berttelse som spnner ver hela 1900-talet och skildrar Rysslands moderna historia ur ett mikroperspektiv. Marina Stepnovas roman har jmfrts med Tolstoj och har blivit en storsljare i Ryssland. versttare: Johanna Lindbladh

Women of Lazarus | Marina Stepnova

(Wrong book, right author, but new books are never added to @Litsy ) I thought this would take me forever, being much more difficult than The Women of Lazarus, but once focus shifted to a new character I got a bit of a boost and managed to finish it. All in all, a great but quite weird story, but it doesn't stand a chance when put up against TWoL.

Wow, this was fantastic! The story revolve around Lazar Lindt, a young Jewish refugee with a genius for science. But while Lazar is the centre it is the women in his life that are the heart of the story. I love the non-linear structure and the postmodern flourishes but it's the deft, psychologically complex character studies that make this something really special. Thank you @tricours for your excellent Cupid skills #TacklingTheTBR

tricours You read very fast! 7y
Moray_Reads @tricours I know, it's kind of my superpower. It's a good job the tbr is endless! 7y
tricours I don't 😔 This book took me a month in Russian, but even in English or Scandinavian it would have taken at least a week I think. 7y
Moray_Reads @tricours I might be fast but I'm very jealous that you read in Russian, I'd love to be able to read it in the original but sadly I'm limited to English 7y

Moray_Reads @saresmoore I've been saving them for when I had a few days to devote to them and a four day Easter weekend seemed ideal! 7y

Thank you @tricours! I'm in awe of your choices, I've been asking my library to buy Women of Lazarus for ages without success and I was looking at book darts just yesterday but they're horribly expensive here. I love the handmade gloves, so pretty and soft. 💖💖 And thanks for the darker side of love in the Bird Tribunal 😈 Everything is perfect. #cupidgoespostal
Thanks @BookishMarginalia, this brings such joy 💕🎉

Reviewsbylola Wow, what a nice gift! 7y
tricours I'm glad you liked it 😊 I hope the mittens fit! 7y
Moray_Reads @tricours they fit perfectly which is amazing, most of the time I have to wear children's gloves because of my little hands 😂 7y
tricours I looked at your GR profile pic and judged you to be my size, and I have extremely thin wrists and skinny hands, so I just made them to fit me 😉 7y
