Description:
“A passion that ended in death, and a betrayal that cuts deeper than a knife.
A sorrowful story of unhappy love.
We present to you a classic of Ukrainian melodrama — a novel by Halyna Zhurba. In ‘Doctor Kachioni’, the reader is drawn into a whirlpool of fateful events that shook a quiet Volhynian town. A young beauty, like a moth drawn to a flame, was consumed by the infernal fire of love. Her laughter, jokes, flirtation, and thirst for life were all extinguished at the town cemetery, where the white marble of her grave is drowned in the intoxicating scents of acacia and lilac. Only one witness of those distant days is able to lift the veil on this sensational and mysterious story that unfolded during the turbulent years of the First World War.” Vivat
