The sharp turns of the detective and the frankness of the diary, the document and fantasy, reality and unreality, the expressive language of the narrator - these are the components of Olga Kuchkina’s new novel, the heroine of which is passionately trying to figure out what it is impossible to figure out. “Behind the biography of the main character, one can discern a completely shocking author’s investigation of the life story of the outstanding Russian writer Vladimir Bogomolov. Olga Kuchkina once wrote about this courageous man, a participant in the war, whose book “In August of '44” became a revelation for many readers. The novel is still a bestseller, and they say it is loved at the very top of the Kremlin tower” (Igor Shevelev).
