Galina Shcherbakova, as always, is true to her theme - she writes about love. Real or fictional - it doesn't really matter. The main thing is that it was or will be. In our far from sentimental times, it is precisely feelings and the ability to experience them to the end, to complete dedication, that are a kind of guarantee of the safety of the human soul. Galina Shcherbakova is interested in all the nuances of the experiences of her heroines - be it the “warrior” and born adventurer Lilia from the new novel “Climbing King Solomon’s Hill with a Stroller and a Bicycle” or simply floating with the flow of life, but in some strange way influencing the fate of all men, coming across her way, Nora (“Actress and Policeman”). The heroines are different, and their stories are different, but the author's intonation is always recognizable - there is no condescension or excessive sensitivity in it, but there is a captivating trust in the reader and an amazing gaze that allows you to consider the “details of small feelings.”
