The story of every woman is unique, full of ups and downs, hopes and bitter disappointments. Due to our natural character, we are all inclined to build castles in the air and fall into despair when our illusions collapse. But the strength of a woman is that she is capable, like the Phoenix bird, of rising from the dust and with new strength, new passion, starting her life from scratch. Chasing the Chimera is a novel with a touch of philosophy. The main attention was paid to the thoughts, feelings and spiritual transformation of the characters. The main character of the book is Vera, a young woman with a difficult fate, who decides to change her life and moves from the provinces to St. Petersburg. Luck does not accompany her, but troubles and misfortunes pour in from all sides, as if from a cornucopia. In St. Petersburg, Vera meets a boy whose soul is just as unhappy and lonely, and whose fate is cruel and unshakable. The heroine understands that their meeting was predestined from above. And Vera intends to fulfill her destiny at any cost.
