A small town near New York. Houses are like two peas in a pod, and people obey established rules once and for all. And suddenly everything changes dramatically. Nora Silk, a divorced mother of two, appears in town. Nora is a bad housewife, she dresses provocatively, listens to unusual music, and her parenting methods terrify all the surrounding mothers. But at the same time, it’s a strange thing: no matter how hard the old-timers try to fence themselves off from the new neighbor with a wall of alienation, the old world order for some reason loses all its charm in their eyes, and the reality itself, which previously seemed idyllic, turns out to be far from so cloudless... Alice Hoffman - a recognized master of a subtle psychological novel. The total circulation of her books is more than 50 million copies. The novel “Seventh Heaven” is published in Russian for the first time.
