«La Fille d'un héros de l'Union soviétique» is the historical novel by Andreï Makine, published by Folio in paperback (224 pages, in French).
The narrative follows Olia, born in the post-war Soviet Union amid an atmosphere of euphoria; her father, Ivan, a hero decorated with the Gold Star of the Soviet Union, places dreams in her that soon clash with reality. Makine thus portrays a generation marked by the loss of ideals.
It was Andreï Makine's first novel, originally published in 1990; the translation from Russian is by Françoise Bour.
For readers of historical and literary fiction interested in the post-war Soviet Union, memory, and the disillusionment of a generation.
