Set at the foot of the Altai Mountains in Central Siberia, this is a tale of love and betrayal. Spanning continents, it is a story with indelible recollections of a childhood in the uncultivated Eurasian Steppe and Siberian forests, and the more civilized dreams of a future the hero does not yet fully understand. It is about his transformation from a simple boy with roots in the Russian soil, to a globetrotting entrepreneur with ever mounting ambition. It is the story of a dream turned nightmarish, as the reality of what he has created becomes ever clearer, and he is faced with the most important decision of his life.
Based upon events unfolding in Russia's march towards modernization, VERONIKA plunges deep into the myth, mystery and psyche of an archaic worldview being swept away in Siberia's headlong rush to the West.
"VERONIKA is a parable for our times. Through the lens of the protagonist, it takes us on an exhilarating ride up the ladder of financial success as we willfully ignore the impacts of that success on the living planet. Then it brings us back to Earth, literally and figuratively. Along the way, the story gently reminds us what really matters love for nature, love for our children and grandchildren, love for each other. Wow... what a ride!"
(Guy R. McPherson, Professor Emeritus, University of Arizona
Author of Walking Away From Empire)
"VERONIKA, Sandy Krolick's extraordinary, literary gift to the reader." (Clu Gallagher, Author of Shattered Seeds)
VERONIKA The Siberian Tale edition by Sandy Krolick Literature Fiction eBooks
VERONIKA: The Siberian's Tale: A Hero's Journey in a Modern WorldIn his first work of fiction, Sandy Krolick weaves a powerful tale of ancient knowledge and modern challenge in the story of a young man navigating the seductive and treacherous world of modern Russia.
Writing from his adopted Siberia, Krolick (The Recovery of Ecstasy: Notebooks from Siberia) creates a compelling figure in Sergei, the tale's protagonist. The story unfolds as Sergei moves from his small village in the Altai Mountains to navigate the larger and more complicated worlds of Moscow and beyond. We follow the young man as he discovers his power and reclaims his past, learns of love lost and regained, and rediscovers what matters most. Krolick allows us to see through Sergei's eyes, and we keep reading.
The characters capture the taste, culture, and clash of forces at work in modern Russia and in the world at large. As the drive for development and modernization rises, the author deftly adds counterpoint in voices that connect to the land, the mountains, the ancient ways. Krolick creates scenes that are tense, sensual, idyllic, magical. He offers up reconciliation in ways that are unexpected and touching. The novel ends with a powerful acceptance of return and rediscovery, and clear path for change.
VERONIKA: The Siberian's Tale is a rich and compelling story, well told.

A slice of Dickens in Siberia with ancestral wisdom, grit, vodka, love, and the search for meaning--estrangement and return to the ancient meaning of land, home, and those you love.
I find myself still pondering the events that occurred and why so many things are not apparent-foolish prior to wisdom won. Veronika stands on its own. Complete. There are some things you cannot change. Some of these things are very good...
