Hardly Ever Otherwise by Maria Matios is a powerful family saga set in Western Ukraine under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Through intertwined lives and destinies, Matios examines the inevitability of human passions and choices against the backdrop of time and tradition.

In Hardly Ever Otherwise, Maria Matios crafts a richly layered narrative that explores the lives of several Western Ukrainian families during the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s twilight years.
