The Call of the Whistles

«The Call of the Whistles» is a true time machine that transports the reader to the turbulent early 20th century. This collection of short stories, essays, and memoirs by Natalia Romanovych-Tkachenko offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of that time and feel the pulse of the era. The author paints vivid pictures of life at the turn of the century, exploring themes of love and disappointment, self-discovery, and societal changes. Romanovych-Tkachenko depicts the conflict between old and new morals, the social psychology of the time, and raises questions about women's emancipation, love, marriage, and the possibility of inner freedom within a happy marriage.

The language of the work is beautiful and expressive, and the imagery is vivid and memorable.
