At first glance, Galya's marriage looked like a fairy tale: a caring Italian husband, a house among picturesque landscapes, a wonderful daughter... But in reality, Galya faces domestic violence and faces a difficult choice: to resign herself or to run away, having neither work nor acquaintances, and at the risk of losing the most precious thing in her mother’s life... For Anita, everything is the opposite: a strong marriage, a successful career and a comfortable home. However, getting to know Galya helps to recognize dangerous signals in your own seemingly ideal family... The novel is based on real stories. “Run” is a social drama by Lydia Davydova, which truthfully reflects the perseverance of women overcoming difficult situations in a foreign country. The book makes you think about what silence, denial, as well as learned helplessness and lack of integration can lead to. Through the stories of several heroines, the author shows that even in the most difficult circumstances there is a way out. “Reading this novel is painful, but how exciting! A true story about love and hate, friendship and despair, the courage to make difficult decisions and blows of fate. And also about the courage to get angry and say: “You can’t do this with me,” to break the silence of the victim and break the shackles of violence and addiction. An ode to all the fragile women with a core of steel inside who seek freedom from fear and find themselves.” – Olga Primachenko, author of the bestseller “Tenderly to Yourself”
