    About the book: 2020 / From a two-time Booker finalist and two-time Costa Award winner, a classic of modern prose who has been called “the peerless chronicler of a life lost forever” (Irish Independent), “a luminous novel, poignant and uplifting” (Library Journal), “a gripping tale of revenge and the search for identity” (Observer), a sequel to Endless Days, reviewed by Man Booker and Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro like this: “An amazing and unexpected miracle... the most exciting story I have read in many years.” So, “A Thousand Moons” is another episode in the saga about the McNulty family. In "Endless Days," Thomas McNulty and John Cole defy fate to save a Native American girl whose name means "rose" in the Lakota language - but Thomas, unable to pronounce it, calls her Winona. And now the floor is given to her. “The niece of the great leader,” she was “born on the full moon of the month of the Deer” and remembered well her mother’s lesson - “how to cast aside fear and take courage from a thousand moons” ... ““Endless Days” and “A Thousand Moons” are equally magnificent; together they are one of the outstanding achievements of modern literature" (Scotsman). For the first time in Russian!
