The new book by one of the best modern English-language writers Nicole Krauss (“Chronicles of Love”, “In the Dark Forest”) is a collection of stories that, as you read, turns into a single work. His heroes are men and women, young and old, parents and children - people whom the reader finds at turning points in their lives, which they have been waiting for for many years, sometimes without realizing it. And all the most important things happen in glances, fleeting gestures or subtle intonations. The texts echo each other, extending thin lines of connections to each other, weaving individual stories into a single narrative: about relationships, their origins and disintegration, about memory, Jewishness, power, love, about the heaviness of the past and the search for new experience.
