Nina Voronel, a well-known writer who has published nearly two dozen books, including The Past and the Ladies, published by Folio, continues to introduce readers to the bright personalities of the past. Her documentary novel is about Sabine Spielrein, a woman with an amazing and tragic fate. At the age of 19, she became a patient of Jung, then his assistant, mistress and one of the first women psychoanalysts. A strange "triangle" united Sabina with Jung and Freud. History has pushed her into the shadows, made her works only an illustration of their work. The woman from Rostov died in Rostov: in 1942, along with other Jews, she was shot by the Nazis in Zmievskaya Balka. Her story is full of mysteries, and Nina Voronel, reconstructing the events of her life, carefully recreates, partly imagining, her sad existence and tragic death.
