The effect of the rebelder. Minkina-Tsecher E.M.

The lion’s grandmother hurriedly returns from France to Russia, breaks off all ties with relatives and never mentions her husband. Kira's family hides her aunt's photographs from prying eyes, and Nadezhda does not talk about the father-priest even for children. Behind all this is dispossession, links, the work of doctors and, oddly enough, love, which turns out to be worse than war and death.

The romance becomes more than a family saga, since it covers the history of several families united by bonds, betrayal and tragedies of the XX century.
