The Rounddance of Water

<p><b><span>From the man Arturo Péeacute;rez-Reverte has called "the most talented young Russian author" comes this extraordinary family saga, a journey into the depths of the human soul.</span></b><span></span></p><p><b><span><br></span></b></p><p><span>The <i>Round-dance of Water</i> is a detailed portrait of three generations of a large family, but in this story there is no division into primary and secondary characters: each individual fate carries its weight and runs into the bloody river of the twentieth century. The novel drifts between years, tones, and styles, and the range of its influences is overwhelming, ranging from Rudyard Kipling to Andrei Platonov and Daniil Kharms, from gangster movies to Japanese anime.</span></p>
