When their Ukrainian grandmother is lost on a trans-Atlantic Flight, two sisters are swept into a quest across eastern Europe to find the woman who had always told more tales than truths.
From Poland to Slovakia to Hungary and beyond, Larissa and Ira navigate the steps of Ukrainian folk dance, the cliff-side paths of Slovak Paradise National Park, and the stark realities of war, folktales, and feminism, all for the sake of chasing who they’re starting to believe is a true Baba Yaga. Understanding their family’s roots has never been more clear.
Review of The Baba Yaga Mask
I didn’t quite understand the lost grandmother angle until I realized this ornery jokester was leading the granddaughters on a journey of self discovery. I loved the dual timeline, bouncing between present day and the grandmother’s past in Ukraine during World War 2. The story is rich in historical fiction and folklore, presented in a way to make you feel like you’re in the middle of the action. Having a spunky grandmother myself, I couldn’t help but cheer for Vira and I think you will too.
