ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden is a captivating blend of historical fiction and Russian folklore. Set in medieval Russia, the story follows Vasya, a young girl with the ability to see and communicate with spirits and magical beings of the forest. As Christianity begins to take hold in her village, Vasya finds herself caught between the old gods and the new faith, with her unique gifts making her a target. The novel explores themes of faith, the clash of traditions, family, and the supernatural, with a strong emphasis on the power of women and their roles in society.
