A Good Angel of Belarusianness by Hilevich Nil Nina Hilevich, the poet’s wife, was a good angel of Belarusianness. The book is in the memory of a person who was always a bit in a shadow, but always by her husband’s side or ahead of him in some matters. It is about their youth, acquaintance, living together and struggle with a disease. Nina Hilevich, who went through life with her chin up, was a support to her family, an advisor and the first reader to her husband, as well as the most important reviewer. She was a wife, a mother, a friend and an associate. This is the way she is depicted on the pages of Hilevich’s book. Death took away this wonderful person who gave many strength to carry on and overcome hardships. She never let desperation take hold of herself and her loved ones. A linguist, a connoisseur of popular humor, a Belarusian language researcher, she was a great source of knowledge, quotes, comparisons and epithets. She was. The book by Nil Hilevich is a wreath in the memory of the angel. It is designed to keep her name, image and memories alive. (N.H.)
