The reprinting of two early books by Sofiia Andrukhovych: the short story collection ‘Women of their Husbands’ and the short story ‘Old Men’ with illustrations by Elena Stelmakh is a return to the stories of unusual and at the same time ordinary women and men, more often women. These are stories about corporeality and identity, about boundaries and their absence, about love and living, fusion and separation, the search for oneself and within oneself, temptation, seduction and rejection. This is a kaleidoscope of women you dream of meeting and want to avoid, as well as the story of one couple who had years behind them, but there was no old age, only great love and the ability to be here and now, living every moment together.
