The atmospheric story of “Lolita” from St. Petersburg of the 2000s will appeal to fans of the books “My Dark Vanessa”, “The Garden of Eden of First Love”, “Season of Poisoned Fruits”. Ksyusha runs into one of the yellow-eyed panels on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. There she lives with her mother, who seems to be loving and kind, but at times slips into an alcoholic abyss. Ksyusha goes to school, tries to be friends, but it’s not with the right people. Who is she? Our neighbor? Familiar? A friend? One day Yura appears in her life; he is married and several decades older than her. Quite quickly, Ksyusha is sucked into a swamp of fears and addictions. Will these feelings turn into true love or will they remain an attempt to replace the gaping hole in the place of the father with the figure of Yura? “The continuous dichotomy between childhood and sexuality creates a piercing feeling that the girl is gradually being completely replaced by a woman. This is at the same time a very scary and tender book about a completely non-canonical growing up in the era of the 2000s.” – Lyuba Makarevskaya, writer The book contains obscene language!
