God is always there. He is ready to give a miracle if someone asks him for it. And this miracle can be love, and there and then when it is completely impossible - in prison, shortly before execution (“On the Edge”). A miracle can be a seemingly random escape from an enemy bullet (“Curly Lieutenant”). Death itself can become a miracle, if only it is given the power to heal and calm the soul (“Orphan Kolya”). This collection by Irina Muravyova includes novels and stories that are well known and published for the first time, in which the humanistic pathos of the writer is especially clearly manifested.
