WINNER OF THE BIG BOOK AWARD, THE LEO TOLSTOY YASNAYA
POLYANA AWARD AND THEÂ BEST PROSE WORK OF THE YEAR AWARD
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 READ RUSSIA PRIZE RUNNER-UP FOR THE EBRD
LITERATURE PRIZE, 2020 Zuleikha is the model of a dutiful wife.
Biddible and meek, she has resigned herself to brutal treatment at
the hands of her cruel husband and the carping of her despotic
mother-in-law. While Russia reels in the aftermath of its recent
revolution, life in her small Tatar village is relatively
untouched. Or so it seems to Zuleikha, until the day her husband is
executed by communist soldiers. Zuleikha is exiled to
Siberia and forced to leave behind everything she knows. Yet in
that harsh, desolate wilderness, she begins to build a new life for
herself and discovers an inner strength she never knew she had.
This is a supremely ambitious epic about one woman's determination,
not only to survive, but to flourish in the face of the greatest
adversity.
