Continuation of Lost in the Taiga, a book (review here: https://the-literary-adventures-of-a-french-reader.com/blog/life-in-the-taiga/) about the life of an isolated family in the taiga.
Des nouvelles d'Agafia gives updates on Agafia, lone survivor of her family.
Interesting to read how some people failed to start a new life there with Agafia, where life is tough, and loneliness practically insurmountable for people living in the modern world.
