Description

Lyudmila Ulitskaya’s “Medea and Her Children” is one of the most intriguing experiments in constructing a modern “family novel.” The book seamlessly combines the author’s exceptional ability to tell the life of an individual, her mastery of mythological layers, contemporary relevance, and even ideological reflection.
The main character, the childless Medea Sinopli—named after the ancient Medea—is a unique kind of deity for a large, sprawling family. But rather than destroying, she gathers, unites, and, with her own blood, binds the fragile bonds within the family.
