Alindarka's Children

“This novel by one of the most established and renowned contemporary Belarusian writers Alhierd Bacharevič will be especially interesting for those who are bilingual or who come from a country that used to be colonised and whose native language has been at the brink of extinction. In it the characters speak in English and Irish, and in the Belarusian version the English speech was translated into Russian, while Irish speech was translated into Belarusian.
