Buy Book "Ask Miechka" in Ukrainian

Let me start by saying that I bought the electronic format and it’s good. Because I didn’t like it. The book is not interesting. My expectations were higher. The author failed to become the second Luco Dashvar.

I expected a lot from this book, but unfortunately, it is not to my taste. A summer spent at the grandmother of three sisters. I thought the book was boring, I didn’t see any main idea, it was like an essay on the topic: “How I spent my summer”.

Natalia Kovalivska’s review contains a spoiler 🙁

This is a horror

This novel is the story of three generations of women. Two sisters, Miechka (Solomiya) and Lila, and their pregnant cousin Marta, visit their 96-year-old grandmother Thea in the summer.

They have come to their childhood home to make a decision. The most vivid character in the story is Theodora’s grandmother, who is the author of the funny phrases and remarks.

The story about Yulia the cat, about how the red cat did not take the chance to get a matching name and became Jacob posthumously, was also very funny.

This book is about family, family values, and family. The events do not happen dynamically, they float too much in a summer day.

I recommend this family story for a cozy read.

The story is about a large family, or rather the female line.

What happens when several generations of women and an old ginger cat gather under one roof? Oh, that’s exactly what the story is about. It’s about this old house that was built with hard work and at the cost of young lives, so that the women of this family could come together under that roof to solve their problems, to deal with themselves, with their own stories…

This is a warm story about summer, about women’s fates, which even touches you at the end.

I definitely recommend it for reading on a warm summer evening.
