Fatherland Treaty: Roman. Kemiri Yu.Kh.

Grandpa comes home twice a year from abroad to visit her adult children. His son is a loser. The daughter expects a child not from that man. Only he, wise by the life of the Patriarch, is almost perfect - at least it seems to him so...

the novel “Fatherland Treaty” with irony and bitterness tells how difficult it is to find a common language with the closest people. What does it mean to be a good father and husband, mother and wife, son and daughter, sister or brother? It would seem that our roles are changing, but how to find a balance between family obligations and personal freedom, the desire to be next to those whom you love, and the temptation to escape from those who sometimes injure you?
