Spanning sixty tumultuous years of Ukrainian history, this multigenerational saga weaves a dramatic and intricate web of love, sex, friendship, and death. At its center: three women linked by the abandoned secrets of the past-secrets that refuse to remain hidden. While researching a story, journalist Daryna unearths a worn photograph of Olena Dovgan, a member of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army killed in 1947 by Stalin-s secret police. Intrigued, Daryna sets out to make a documentary about the extraordinary woman-and unwittingly opens a door to the past that will change the course of the future. For even as she delves into the secrets of Olena-s life, Daryna grapples with the suspicious death of a painter who just may be the latest victim of a corrupt political power play. From the dim days of World War II to the eve of Orange Revolution, The Museum of Abandoned Secrets is an -epic of enlightening force- that explores the enduring power of the dead over the living.
