Tama has been serving a rich family since she was eight years old, has no right to leave the house, endures beatings, manages to remain a living person in inhuman conditions and dreams of freedom, not remembering what it is. An unnamed, seriously wounded girl shows up at the house of the unstable, grieving hermit Gabriel, remembering nothing at all about herself. The hermit, alas, remembers everything about himself and deals with his memories bloodily, because they kill him. All three must free themselves from slavery - literal and metaphorical - and eventually each will find their own difficult path to freedom. The books of the queen of thrillers, Karine Gibel, have been translated into a dozen languages and received numerous literary awards, including the Prix Polar for best novel in French. For the novel Every Hour Hurts, the Last Kills she received the Golden Pen of French Thriller and the Prix de l'Evêché. Gibel wrote this novel based on the real stories of women who were deprived of their freedom and faced extreme forms of violence - and the result was a thriller about human cruelty, redemption and personal freedom, which is very expensive and sometimes paid only in blood. For the first time in Russian!
