ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "TOLSTOY'S SUCCESSOR" --Neue Zürcher Zeitung "A devastating Georgian saga" (Kultur) by the author of The Eighth Life (for Brilka), winner of the Anna Seghers, Literaturpreis "Text & Sprache, " and Bertolt Brecht awards, with over a million readers, and translated into twenty-eight languages. The twentieth century comes to an end, and in Soviet Georgia, the screams of self-proclamation are heard louder and louder. The destinies of four fundamentally different little girls are linked by the courtyard separating their houses in a neighborhood in Tbilisi. Together, Dina, Nene, Ira, and Keto--the narrator--navigate the end of childhood and the beginning of adult life. They experience their first loves, they witness the breakouts of violence and scarcity that come with the country's independence, as well as the arrival of a turbulent democracy that will end up carving an unbridgeable gap between their families. With an echo of Elena Ferrante, The Lost Light is an epic tale of friendship and betrayal in the context of a country taking its first steps, a revolution that wipes out youth, and an ongoing struggle against a future of pain and separation.
