Book Reviews of Sonechka: A Novella and Stories
Book Review: Love's labor's lost
Summary: 3 Stars
Ludmila Ulitskaya is widely regarded as one of the best contemporary Russian writers with a number of books and plays to her credit. She is probably best known for The Funeral Party. Sonechka and the relative handful of other stories contained in this beautifully bound book cover some of Ulitskaya's shorter works, and as such they really only give you a taste of her writing gifts. Sonechka, the title story, seems more like a sketch for an epic novel than a novella. She plots out quite a story from Sonechka's uninspiring origins in which books became her refuge, to her marriage to a dashing painter, a daughter and ultimate disillusionment with life before reverting once again to books. The other stories capture moods and impressions both in Russia and abroad, culminating in a ribald reunion of three Russian women in New York in 1990 romantically entitled The Dauntless Women of the Russian Steppe.
