Гласът на родното говори чрез историите на Ивелина Радионова по начин, по който никой съвременен писател от XXI век не го е правил досега. Авторката утвърждава вечното и непреходното чрез ценностите на родния фолклор и традиции. Разкривайки различни нюанси в чувствата на героите си, тя събужда топлината и копнежа по една отминала епоха, в която дълг, чест и морал са били поставяни на пиедестал. Посланията ѝ проникват дълбоко в съзнанието на читателите и отключват секретен код към мъдростта и познанието. Така както "в комата хляб трябва да видим и буцата пръст, и дъжда, и небето. Тогава той утолява глада." ... |
