“A Light Flame” (thriller for two) - the story is written in the “montage novel” genre, a lyrical, intellectual narrative. The story of a girl Masha, who has known two young men, Kirill and Slavka, since childhood. She has been in love with Slavka from the very moment they met on the seaside, in Jurmala, and fate, everyday vanity and life’s ups and downs bring her together with Kirill, a young man from a “good” family. The real world and the imagined, virtual world, their interaction. Memories of the 90s in the Northern capital, a story about trips to the United States of America, Tunisia, London, Amsterdam. Sometimes the heroine does not understand when she communicates with Kirill, and when the image of Slavka appears before her eyes. In his interviews, the author writes that “the Japanese writer H. Murakami did this in one of his novels”: the reader will have to find out whether the main character had this most important meeting at the end of the book or not. The effect of unexpected flashbacks and a detective plot, a beautiful embodiment of the game and the power of consciousness.
