Kaytek the Wizard (Hardcover)

Description

First, there is Great-Grandma, tiny and terrifying, shaped by a life of exile, hardship, and doomed love, now fighting to keep her iron grip on the lives of her daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter. Then there is Aba, arthritic but devoted; cowed and despised by her mother, her one chance of happiness thwarted,and her hopes of studying painting crushed. Thirdly, Marianna, the brilliant opera star: bold, beautiful and a fearless crusader for Ukrainian independence, who is shot during a demonstration and whose life and martyrdom casts a shadow upon the young life of the fourth and final woman, her daughter.
