The Richynski Sisters. Volume 1

The novel “The Richynski Sisters” is a historical snapshot of the first half of the 20th century, seen through the eyes of women who no longer want to live in a patriarchal world and step out of the confined domestic space into the wider world.

At the center of the story are five sisters who, after their father’s death, find themselves face to face with real life. With no money, no understanding of how the world around them works and only shares in a bankrupt company, they are nonetheless determined not to remain objects or depend on romantic relationships or advantageous marriages. Each sister is ready to take responsibility for her own life and make choices aligned with her own understanding of success and happiness.

This is the first of three volumes of the novel.
