Bulgarian writer now living in the U.S.
A lovely novel exploring Bulgarian 20th c. history, the confused and complex ethnic and religious relations, as well as some of the old folk traditions that are on the edge of final disappearance. With a sprinkling of the corruption of Communist and current pirate capitalism. All tied together around two love stories and storks.
A book with a lot of echoes - curiously, Penkov was mentored by Michael Ondaajte while writing this book...
Also wrote "East of the West".
