Stalen, a novel by Yuri Buida (2017)

Rights sold: France - GALLIMARD, Russia - EKSMO

Longlisted for the 2018 National Bestseller literary award

Yuri Buida's new novel is set in 1990s and early 2000s, and gives an account of the post-Soviet life in Moscow.

But instead she falls in love with her spiritual father and ultimately emigrates to Canada. Throughout all of this, she remains a virgin and a profound spiritual seeker.

 In this novel we have a fresh view on the involvement of the young people in the new Orthodox wave that seems to be overflowing in Russia...
