The books of Anatoly Toss are an event in world literature. His work continues the great traditions of Turgenev, Bunin, Nabokov. The novel mercilessly opens our wounds, forcing us to suffer again and again from the torment of love, to experience betrayal and betrayal, to love and hope, to hate and kill. This is a love story. This is exactly what women dream of. Love is fantasy, love is tenderness, love is pleasure. When day merges with night, body with soul, when you want only one thing - to love and be loved. To tears, to pain, to exhaustion. A book that you want to re-read again and again!!! A lonely woman in an empty house, in the wilderness, on the ocean shore. What made her come here?

Is she to blame?! Did they die?! And how to figure it all out?! But it is necessary, it is very necessary, because her life depends on it. And then there is an old book found in the house, and unusual, strange stories in it that inspire something, suggest something...
