For the first time in Russian is the most stunning debut in modern British literature, the most moving and uncompromisingly original book of the new century. This novel echoes Emma Donoghue's recent Booker shortlisted bestseller The Room, timeless classics like Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and even Iain Banks' Wasp Factory. But no matter who Grace McClean is compared to, she won't be confused with anyone. So, meet Judith MacPherson. She is ten years old. She lives with her father. The father works at a factory, and in his free time, with the help of Judith, he preaches the true faith: the Last Days have arrived, Armageddon is coming, and not everyone will be saved. In Judith's room there is another world made of things no one else needs; Planets and stars hang from the ceiling on short strings, on longer strings are the Sun and Moon, on the longest strings are clouds and airplanes. This is the most beautiful land in the world, flowing with milk and honey, the beauty of all lands. But Judith is bullied at school, and one day she causes a snowfall in her Land's Beauty; and when he wakes up in the morning, he sees that everything around is really covered in snow and the school is closed. Gradually Judith becomes convinced that she can perform miracles; This is confirmed by the voice sounding in the Beauty of the Earth. But every new miracle does not solve problems, but creates new ones...
