It was really hard to start to write about this book, to put all thoughts together and finally speak even that heart still trembling...
Luko Dashvar my favorite author and one day I dream that her books would be translated to many languages and I can share my feelings with people from all over the world. She always write about life as it is, without "pink glasses ", maybe that's why after every each book my eyes are full of tears, but I will never stop read her books as it's not just the way to show me how shity our society is but it gives power to brain to think that we have to change something, not just seat still.
She really loves to write about villages, all villages with those old traditions, to return life to headwaters, to remember how it was and how it is now where all those villages are dying ~
Villages is our roots and big cities our branches and leaves. I honestly think that if we could all live together and don't make those bridges with gulf between us, to help each other to understand things that someone could not understand , to help to live this life different, probably everything would be different. Village ppl hate big city ppl, cause of their greed and big city ppl hate village cause of their folly and yet we all hate each other cause we can't even try to understand each others life and put ourself in other ppl skin.
Going to village, it's amazing, u see like how everything was born, u hear traditions that were dead and see kindness and candor from ppl eyes and hearts and from their acts towards u. Also I see the other side of medal, where ppl never move on, they live by life circle that was build centuries ago, where ppl work for food and having sex between old men and girl of age 13 years old, covering is by love it's normal, he would present cow after it and her parents will be completely okay with that, as what we born for? To eat, to shit, to fuck, to born same degraded children who we will teach to live by same life circle and die to never be reminded ~
There is big city ppl, who are mostly high educated and see this life something more than to fuck and to eat, that trying to find something new in life and to grow >grow mentally and spiritually. But there is other side, those ppl by getting some goals in life will never be shameful to put their hands in ur blood, u will never know what is behind their smile they can be just perfectly hide knife behind ur back while u think that u completely happy and found real friends. No one will care while stepping on ur neck to reach some goal.
In big cities there is law and villages is lynching~ there is so many stories in small villages that u can't find even in maps, where ppl die and no one even cares. There is so many stories in big cities that ppl were wrongfully convicted but yet they still forgotten, and it's not only problem in Ukraine , u can say we are less civilized , yes we have less money and resources so we can't make every story silent and "shhhhhhh" about it like other countries do. U just trying to convince that ur country doesn't have it, but trust me it does, u just passing by this as long as it's not ur problem, till it will reach us or our family or any ppl that we close to, we will just hear about it and make big eyes as it's something impossible. It would be awesome, if at least one person out of brainwashed herd will try to help one another, it's just one person needed to have changes but it's so hard to find right person, cause most of the time "leader" can lead us to wrong direction ~to remember that sometimes one candy presented from heart means much more than fur coat that cost lots of money~
