There is a lot in this novel. There is betrayal, stolen jewelry, adopted children, non-traditional gender relations, and the romance of distant travels. But at the same time, it is very simple. Because all this can be easily described in a few words - midlife crisis. This is a period when you suddenly suddenly realize that time is running out, that youth is over, life is flying between your fingers at a terrible speed, and you haven’t managed to do anything yet! And you won’t have time if right now, this very minute, you don’t do something like that, It’s unclear what, but something that you’ve never done before. Fortunately, in most cases, the midlife crisis passes before we manage to do anything completely irreversible in our lives. And when he lets you go, it becomes absolutely clear that the main and best thing in your life is what you already have. And this is enough, and this is wonderful, and nothing more is needed.
