The Museum of Abandoned Secrets

This is a contemporary epic of modern Ukraine: a family saga spanning three generations, with events covering the period from the 1940s to the spring of 2004. Great literature and a harsh truth – about the power of the past over the future, about love, betrayal, and death, about humanity's eternal war for the right to be oneself.

This novel has been recognized by Ukrainian and foreign critics not only as the most outstanding work of Ukrainian literature since independence but also as one of the most important in all of Eastern European literature after the fall of communism. Awarded the Central European Literary Award "Angelus" (2013), translated into English, German, Polish, Czech, and Russian, repeatedly recognized as "book of the year" (in Ukraine, Germany, Switzerland, Poland), "The Museum of Abandoned Secrets" is "a novel of Nobel class" (Newsweek Polska); it has rightly become a calling card of new Ukrainian literature.
