White Sogra. Bogatyreva I. S. S.

This is how many fairy tales begin: the mother died, the man took the stepmother into the house, and she disliked the stepdaughter, sent her to her aunt - Baba Yaga...

But the Zhu, with whom the same thing happened, is not sure that got into a fairy tale. The village in which she found herself was a forgotten place somewhere in the north, where the sun never comes, around the forest and swamps, and the phone does not catch here. There is absolutely nothing to do here, and the local old women have an incomprehensible dialect and only conversations that about corruption and deceased who come to live, brownie and incomprehensible grass that helps to find lost people, but it is difficult to disrupt: it grows in a distant sinus, and Its unclean power is protected.

However, Zhu is not interesting. Since her mother did not become, it is difficult for her to communicate with people. For her, this is done by the internal twin brother, about whom Zho begins to think that this is she herself. To be a boy or a girl, to live in a city or in a village, to do something or not to do anything at all-recently, the Zhu does not matter. However, from the day the local sorceress in the hearts said, “Break you Leshy,” and Zhu sang in marshy forests with her brother, and she had already left - from that day she has to learn to live again, listen to the old women and understand what they tell About the forces living in the surrounding swamps, and how to handle them. Only in this way can she understand something about herself.
