DO I HAVE NO REGRETS, a novel by Vladimir Sharov
Rights sold: Russia - LIMBUS
The novel is a tale of a family whose path is closely intertwined with the fate of Russia in the twentieth century. Similar to A Trace in the Footprint, the novel follows the changing atmosphere in Russia during periods of inner turmoil – the Civil War, collectivization, the Great Patriotic War, and the dissolution of the USSR. At the forefront of Do I Have No Regrets is a family trying to find their place between a series of social and political upheavals. Critics were largely satisfied with the great attention Sharov paid to historical detail in this work.
In Russia, the novel sold over 20,000 copies.
