Medea Georgievna Sinoply Mendez is an iconic figure in her Crimean village, the last remaining pure-blooded Greek in a family that has lived on that coast for centuries. Childless Medea is the touchstone of a large family, which gathers each spring and summer at her home. There are her nieces (sexy Nike and shy Masha), her nephew Georgii (who shares Medea's devotion to the Crimea), and their friends. In this single summer, the languor of love will permeate the Crimean air, hearts will be broken, and old memories will float to consciousness, allowing us to experience not only the shifting currents of erotic attraction and competition, but also the dramatic saga of this family amid the forces of dislocation, war, and upheaval of twentieth-century Russian life.

Medea and Her Children
My first read from Lyudmila Ulitskaya, and I loved it. Iskrenne vash Shurik will be next, as I understand it makes a good pair for Medea.
Besides being essentially very Russian (the references to the athletics culture in the Soviet space, poetry, and mathematics and so on), I liked that the atmosphere throughout the book is also highly multi-cultural. It's not just that the family described has Greek roots, but also the Crimean community that blends Armenians with Tatars and Turks, etc.
The story is convincing, dense and poignant, though it reads fast. I grew attached to Medea and to some of her metaphorical children, and I like the fact that not all characters are likable but you can sympathize with them anyway. That's the mark of a credible writing style, for me.
