Even if your world has collapsed and you are buried under the rubble, remember: salvation is closer than you think. Unfortunately, this principle is difficult to apply to your own life, especially if the world collapses on your birthday. The husband, who carried you in his arms for so many years, suddenly announces that he is leaving for someone else. And some say that the matter was not without a love spell and damage. Until recently, witchcraft only brought a skeptical smile from you, but now you suddenly plunge into a dope. Can you break the mystical bonds and become happy again? And where is the border between magic and reality? “The Year of the Black Moon” is the first novel by the famous translator Masha Spivak. Her book mixed witchcraft with Moscow life, devilry with love, astrology with dreams. But above all, this is a novel about a modern woman who managed to start her life anew.
