Almost Never the Other Way

In the family saga «Almost Never the Other Way», by the distinguished Ukrainian writer Maria Matios, the author masterfully reveals the complex characters of people and their relationships in times of great upheaval.

The action of the novel takes place in the Carpathians during World War I. In this difficult time, Hutsul families experience difficult trials. Great passions, love and hate, sin and redemption — all this is intertwined in this dramatic story.Each character has their own truth, their own version of events. And no one can say who is right and who is wrong. After all, the laws of honor often contradict the laws of the heart.

The work of Maria Matios is not just a story about the Hutsul region. It is a story about people of any era who fight for their happiness and justice.
