Steel and wax - this is how the hero of the novel defines the character of each of the twin sisters whom he happened to know while finding out the circumstances of the sudden death of his half-brother. And indeed, one of the sisters is unbending, courageous, always ready to save her weaker “half.” And the other is soft, pliable, like a wax doll. But it happens that the straightforward, decisive Christine finds herself defenseless against Elizabeth’s betrayal. Deceived, devastated, she does not know how to live further. Only reckless love helps her find true happiness.
