Two writer friends, an author of intellectual prose and a famous writer of romance novels, how much is between them from their youth to the present day - devotion and betrayal, envy and admiration, one love, and... one son? “The most interesting thing is the growing up of adults,” says the main character, who loves his mother so devotedly. What games does memory play with us, is it possible for a man to be weak and sensitive, will adult children and their non-adult parents become friends? This book, with its irony and insightful naivety, gives us the opportunity to laugh, be sad, and for a while stop worrying about our own life, immerse ourselves in someone else’s and understand that our life is valuable, and there is hope for happiness in it.
