Abuse or passion? Will you be able to make the right choice? The heroes of Ksenia Burzhskaya are children of their cruel century, the desperate 90s: late growing up, a choice between feeling and duty, a painful search for oneself in the reflections of other people's expectations. Dependency, uncertainty, loss. And again, a long road in a barely discernible hope for happiness. Maryana and Ian are trying to create a family on the ruins of their own illusions, mistakes of the past and an accidentally flared passion that goes out as quickly as the evening lights - in the morning of each new day, when it is already around the corner someone else is waiting. The second novel by the young writer Ksenia Burzhskaya, awarded the NOS Prize and many publications in reputable media.
