The turbulent Ukrainian 16th century comes alive in the atmospheric historical novel “The Angel Sighed Sadly.” The Black Princess… Extraordinary wealth and legendary beauty became her greatest misfortune. Halszka Ostrozka rose and fell: she experienced romantic love, wild passion, treacherous betrayal, cruel gossip and rumors, and a thousand shades of bitter loneliness. She outlived three husbands, becoming a widow three times. She traveled the path from a naïve girl to a confident, wise woman. Books, chess, and the stars became her faithful friends. Though she lived only 43 years, she attained unprecedented heights in the sciences and founded a printing press, the first Orthodox academy, schools, and a hospital in Ostroh, Volhynia. During her rule, the first Bible in the Ruthenian language was translated and printed—the Bible we still read today.
