A novel woven from the very air and culture of Pyatigorsk, from the destinies of people and incredible landscapes, from the ancient legends of this city. Boris, the youngest son in the family, could not speak for a long time. And only his love for music helped him overcome his congenital illness. But maybe it was also love for a woman? The elder brother's wife, so different from everyone Boris knew, changed his fate. But not everyone survived on this path... Real, full-blooded and vivid prose that will appeal to fans of Narine Abgaryan's work.
