Maria Matios. Solodka Darusya. Drama for Three Lives. /fourth edition/. (Sweet Darusya)
"In this drama "for three lives", there is nothing unambiguous: neither characters, nor circumstances or the resolution. In the novel, there are no epochal people or events, positive or negative characters, but, according to critics, "when you read this book, your heart hurts". It is the family saga, which, in actual fact, "Sweet Darusya" is, that creates the authentic spirit of the past epoch, the "birthmarks" of which still prevent a part of the contemporary society from perceiving the Ukrainian history without contractions, censorship and irritation. But the catharses of such sounding that Maria Matios offers in this novel measure the essence of human aspirations, sufferings, true love, as well as the human nature as a whole. The writer's attempt to "remedy the global injustice with love" (quoting Lesya Ukrainka) or "to overcome the humanity with dignity of the soul" (quoting Nietzsche) creates a gallery of imagoes and symbols, which perfectly match with eternal values of the human spirit, visions of morality and decency. Deep psychology, sophisticated plot based on the "reverse" principle and luxurious language create an extraordinarily attractive transparent fabric."

In Ukrainian.
