Haratischvili, Nino

In this fraught tale of how the sins of the parents haunt and punish their offspring, the tension and sadness are almost too much to bear. Billed as a modern-day Wuthering Heights.

If it’s a family saga you’re seeking, look no further than this grand tale, ably translated by Collins and Martin. The author gracefully interweaves the historical backdrop of her novel with the lives of her characters, thus adding depth to her story. Heartily recommended.
