“Don’t try to live without me for a month or more...” - lines from Andrei Mironov’s letter to the author of the book, Tatyana Egorova. This is a novel about love, which turned out to be stronger than life and death. Neither a hastily concluded marriage, nor ikebana of young artists, nor a rational attempt to create a family, nor the vicissitudes of fate, nor the insidious intervention of his mother (after Andrei’s death they became very close) could destroy this love.
