The main geographical topos in which most of the events of Zalka Landman's book unfold are Eastern Galicia and in particular Zhovkva, the writer's hometown, and the main collective character is her immediate surroundings: father and mother, grandparents, uncles and aunts, cousins, friends and acquaintances. They are the narrators or actors of the weaving of endless stories that form the narrative space of these memories. In addition, there are dozens of other characters - episodic and accidental: Polish landowners, Ukrainian peasants, Hasidic prodigies, Austrian hussars, Russian Cossacks, Jewish merchants, tenants, butchers, shadhens (marriage intermediaries), beggars, clergy, city gods , nannies and maids, etc. Under the pen of the Swiss writer, an authentic panorama of Eastern Galicia of the early 20th century once again appears colorfully. - with all its diversity, everyday life and holidays, social contrasts and historical cataclysms. The book was published with the support of Switzerland.
