Imagine a deck of postcards, each one a gateway to a different world. Pick one at random.One might plunge you into the lives of Jewish refuseniks in Moscow; another might take you through the demanding life of an American resident doctor. You might spend time at a fragile dacha on the outskirts of Moscow during the harsh winter, or traverse the fascinating roads of Vietnam and Cambodia. You’ll visit a Soviet maternity hospital from the eighties or attend a support group for families with autistic children in the USA. And there’s so much more. The author guides you through various times, countries, and scenarios - occasionally venturing into the realm of fairy tales.Though seemingly light-hearted (the author refers to them as fables), these stories will prompt profound reflections on love, family, parenthood, human nature, war, and loss. Through these stories, you’ll explore the myriad threads that form the fabric of life.Olga Goldfarb Lev is an American pediatrician and neurologist.
