About This Book
"Nikolai Dezhnev brings us into Russia's distressful past and perhaps equally distressful present, while telling a love story that surpasses time and space."--BOOK JACKET.
"Lukary is a fallen angel sent back to earth to atone for his past. In the form of a domovoi, a good domestic spirit of Russian folklore, he is sent to inhabit the apartment of an old Bolshevik woman, who dies almost immediately. At the old woman's funeral, in the disguise of a dashing middle-aged gentleman, he encounters her niece, Anna, and falls madly in love with her, interrupting the successful course of his penance.
Forced to choose between his journey to higher lucidity and earthly love, he chooses the latter."--BOOK JACKET.
"Fortunately for Lukary, Anna and her husband - a conceited, no-nonsense Russian physicist - move into the deceased aunt's former home, where Lukary proceeds to wreak supernatural havoc upon their daily lives in his effort to simultaneously woo Anna and badger her into ending her marriage. Unfortunately for Lukary, a demon sent to watch over him on earth has begun to conspire against him with Anna's husband. And soon the havoc spreads far beyond the confines of a simple Moscow apartment."--BOOK JACKET.
