Yeva is a loner and a maverick biologist who lives out of her mobile lab. She scours the country’s forests and valleys, trying and failing to breed rare snails while her relatives urge her to give up, settle down, and start a family. What they don’t know: Yeva already dates plenty of men—not for love, but to fund her work—entertaining Westerners who come to Ukraine on guided romance tours believing they’ll find docile brides uninfluenced by feminism and modernity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNastia and her sister Solomiya are also entangled in the booming marriage industry, posing as a hopeful bride and her translator while secretly searching for their missing mother—a flamboyant protestor who vanished after years of fierce activism against the romance tours. So begins a journey of a lifetime across hundreds of miles: three angry women, a truckful of kidnapped bachelors, and Lefty, a last-of-his-kind snail with one final shot at perpetuating his species. But their plans come to a screeching halt as Russia invades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-10-20\"\u003ePublished: 03\/06\/2026\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9781984897596\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 352 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\" id=\"P1201_FORMAAT\"\u003e204 x 134 x 21\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"display_only apex-item-display-only\"\u003eWeight: 253g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Bookworm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53944330158417,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/7020\/1169\/files\/9781984897596.jpg?v=1780477728","url":"https:\/\/thebookworm.eu\/products\/endling-1","provider":"The Bookworm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
