Description:
“One day you forget everything. You find a cow and make it believe it’s your cow; you find a stranger and make him think he’s your father; you find a house and make yourself believe it’s your home — but this works only if your name is Dusya and you’re in this book.
In a village whose name only locals know, a plum tree and a house where a big family once lived are burning. Elsewhere appears Dusya — a grown woman with a plush dragon, blackened hands, and a bewildered gaze. She remembers nothing about herself and doesn’t know where her home is — yet the life of everyone she meets will change forever.
My Name is Dusya is a story about finding yourself, a home, personal memory, and love. It’s about the fears we carry from childhood, losses and the desperate desire to be seen — and about how sometimes strangers become the closest people in our lives.” Laboratoriya
