The novel “Lisa from Lambeth,” created in the best traditions of the “natural school,” is dedicated to the fate of eighteen-year-old Lisa Kemp, a lively and perky girl from a provincial working-class town. When one fine day a new neighbor arrives there, who is strikingly different from those around her - he is much older, persistent and knows how to get his way - Lisa selflessly surrenders to her feelings. But will this relationship develop happily, since her chosen one already has a family and children? “Carousel” is the cycle of life, alternating successes and misfortunes, separations and unexpected meetings. A cycle of passions and hobbies, envy and friendship, betrayal and dedication. A priest's daughter who has devoted herself to a young poet, an aristocrat torn between pure love for a lady and a carnal passion for a beautiful waitress, the wife of a respected politician who has become a victim of a predatory and cynical gigolo - each of them, in essence, just wants to be happy. Which of them will be able to find happiness, and which will be doomed to suffering? And what price will even the “luckiest” have to pay for the fulfillment of their desires?
