"Abounding in exquisite narrative irony, this compulsively readable retelling of the Medea myth is an unexpected East-meets-West love story and a masterful meditation on the true nature of freedom.

Then, in the mid-1950s, a torrent of Western novels, films, and paintings invaded Soviet streets and homes, acquiring heightened emotional significance.
