H'llo!

In my (hopefully futile) attempts to clean the local book shops of all
works written by C.J. Cherryh (those I not already possess) I picked
up _Chernevog_ and _Yvgenie_.  Obviously the plots of these two take
place in ancient Russia/Ukraina.  Regarding the russian references
from Cherryh's Union related novels I wonder, if she has special
relations to the slavic part of (our ;) world.  Does someone have an
explanation to this?

There is an interesting quotation on the last page of _Chernevog_.
(As part of a short biography.)  But I suppose, I'm not allowed to
reproduce it here, am I?  And my inadequate writing skills make a
proper rendition of it quite unintelligible.  (Please excuse those
stilted words, currently I'm using an incomplete online dictionary. ;)
Anyway my reading skills in English almost suffice to enjoy Cherryh's
books.  Since the german translations are so few.
