A literary series · Book one
The road to Vyshenka begins at dusk - and leads to where every guest finds a place by the fire.
At the crossroads
Behind the door it smells of bread, herbs and rain. People speak softly here - so as not to startle the small miracles.
"At the inn, as in life, the most important things are not said at once. First you sit down, breathe in the smell of wood and dried-fruit brew, let the silence fill the room - and only then do thoughts find their way."

Open the chronicle on the table - or return exactly to where you stopped. The novel is in Ukrainian.
From Ivan's inn
By the stove they laugh. By the window they listen to who walks outside.
By the stove they laugh - human cunning, neighbours and small miracles.
How many people does it take to ruin a couple's wedding night? In Vyshenka, seven and Baba Paraska were enough - and the poor shift nearly never came off at all.
Two kums, one barrel, and half the village with pots on the eve of Spas. When Ovsii and Radko can't agree whose honey is whose, the bees settle it themselves - wing to wing.
Panas eats a handful of strange mushrooms out of someone else's bowl, and by evening half the village has him tied to a bench while the priest demands to know who is sitting inside him. And it all began with "don't touch the mushrooms."
