What could be worse than the betrayal of a loved one? The one who was there for many years, with whom you went through all the difficulties and trials, and raised a child? How to come to terms with the fact that he fell in love with someone else? Irina, the heroine of the new book by Maria Metlitskaya, is primarily tormented by the fact that she cannot forgive her husband, cannot start all over again, pretend that nothing happened. Everyone around says that “going left” is an everyday thing, that all men cheat, and many of her friends, neighbors, and friends went through this hell, some with greater, some with smaller losses. But Irina, no matter how hard she tries, cannot try on their experience for herself.
