"Lala was born in a bookcase, but how she got into the bookcase is unknown to science." This domestic joke was just a statement of fact: Lala started reading at the age of three, and chalked up everything that came to hand, even the magazine "Murzilka", even the collected works of Hugo. Lyalya's mother was different — for strangers, for her own and for her. For the girl, her mother was all about fears: there were only dangers around. For example, the danger that she will consider herself smart or beautiful. When people said on the street, "what a beautiful girl you have," mom was in a hurry to say, "You're not beautiful, you're ordinary!", "Don't listen, don't believe, you're like everyone else." This novel is a revelation about a complicated mother—daughter relationship, written from an unexpected perspective: mom is also a teenager at heart. Why did our mothers treat us the way they did? Do they understand us and we understand them? Maybe it's worth understanding, accepting, forgiving, building a bridge so that, holding on to the flimsy railing, we can laugh and humbly cross to the other shore, where love awaits us?. . .
