At the center of the discussion is Brenda Navarro's poignant novel about motherhood, guilt, and injustice. The Lermontov Library Book Club invites readers to discuss the powerful, provocative, and multilayered novel "Empty Houses" by Mexican writer Brenda Navarro. The narrative centers on two women whose fates are intertwined by the kidnapping of a child. One became a mother by chance, the other made this choice consciously. Each lives with her own pain, guilt, and inner contradictions. One has lost, the other has taken. But which of them evokes sympathy? Or perhaps neither? Or both? The meeting will take place in the Open Lounge of the library. Pre-registration is required. All entertainment in St. Petersburg is gathered on our website.
