Summary
Details

Written in reflective prose by Olga Foreign, author of And Then Thoughts, Stolen and A Lonely Walk, this novel solidifies her place as a voice of generational introspection, moral clarity, and hauntingly beautiful storytelling.

In Conversations with My Grandfather, Olga Foreign delivers a heartfelt and quietly powerful novel told through the intimate bond between a young woman and the elder who shaped her. Framed by the quiet rhythms of everyday life and the histories that echo through generations, this story unfolds through a series of wise, funny, and often poignant stories where lessons are learned not through lectures, but through love.

The narrative spans three generations, using a conversational tone to explore themes of legacy, responsibility, love, and survival, its lyrical cadence and narrative restraint, invites readers into a private space where silence is loud and memory is a character of its own. This minimalist approach enhances its universal resonance, making it accessible to anyone who has wrestled with the ghosts of family, history, or inherited silence.
