This is a novel-reflection on the meaning of life, on human nature, on the paradoxical combination of the base and the sublime, the animal and the spiritual, which simultaneously imply and exclude each other. People and plants. Branched trees, shrubs, fragrant flowers and fragrant herbs - each plant has its own destiny, its own character, its own purpose, but they are all one. So are people. The novel tells about fate, about a person’s choice, about the passions living in each of us, and, of course, about love - huge, all-consuming, about love that makes a person himself. In the novel, philosophical allegories are skillfully intertwined with a detective plot - every hero keeps its secret, and all the secrets are gradually revealed during the course of the story.
