Description
Spanning six generations of the Jashi family, this sweeping novel traces the turbulent history of Georgia from the upheavals of the Russian Revolution through the long aftershocks of war and Soviet rule. At its center is a household shaped by ambition, control, and love—where one difficult patriarch’s need to direct a daughter’s life collides with her own fragile hopes, choices, and losses. As the family’s fortunes rise and fracture, music, art, and memory become both refuge and indictment, illuminating how a culture survives even when its people are repeatedly broken. Written with the momentum of a grand saga and the intimacy of character-driven storytelling, Nino Haratischwili’s richly layered style turns personal lives into a vivid portrait of endurance, identity, and the many “lives” a family can live through.
