We invite you on a captivating journey through the uncharted realms of Ukrainian literature. Discover its heights and depths, find the points where past and present meet. A woman fleeing from herself returns to the home of her childhood. She tries to make sense of her memories, recognising in the shattered mirror of the past the figures of those she loved. Demonic passion, Scandinavian romance, mystical longing, an inscrutable family saga these are the whimsical and alluring threads woven into Ulyana Kravchenkos autobiographical novel *Chrysanthemums*. The author skilfully weaves sensual music, intellectual discussions, feminist statements and fin-de-siecle creative self-revelations into her work. What secrets does young Martas room harbour? A romantic world, adorned with chrysanthemums, invites you into the cosy realm of the aesthetics of solitude.
