This is a very unusual and fascinating book: stories about our time, about people, about difficult moral choices in situations that can happen to anyone. It is easy to read, in one breath. The main core of the book is a call for the correct setting of priorities in modern life: for a person this is the key to preserving not only his personality, but also his soul. Keeping the commandments is not necessary for God, but for man himself - as safety instructions for using this world. It is no coincidence that St. Seraphim of Sarov taught: “Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands around you will be saved.” The process of liberation from the passions with which we are all filled is very difficult and painful. And it’s not easy for the heroines to break out of their ordinary and seemingly hopeless cocoon. But the transformation of a pupa into a marvelous butterfly is worth such torment. Here the ending is always open: life itself will put an end to it - there is always a chance for everyone. After all, while we live, we hope... And only true love, as opposed to passions, will become our salvation. For connoisseurs of good literature.
