It is as if there is a cover spread over human life - feelings, thoughts, impressions, love. This is what Vladimir Sotnikov’s novel “Pokrov” is about. Since childhood, his hero sees not only the ordinary, understandable reality, but also the special, secret life of feelings that express themselves in words, that is, in creativity. The author gives the reader a precious opportunity: to see the world outside the usual, one-dimensional and monochromatic perception, outside the shackles of everyday life.
