USSR, 1987. The life and career of Nadezhda Petrenko, a twenty—two-year-old metropolitan journalist, would have been quite successful if she had not met Love, a forty-year-old physics engineer, married and "morally unstable." Vladimir went to Chernobyl to deal with the consequences of the accident, and Nadia decided to follow him — despite the fact that she was losing everything: her job, family, friends... Was it true love — or the biggest mistake of her life?In the autobiographical novel-memoir, two plots are closely intertwined — the chronicle of violent love and the story of a man-made disaster. But the author pays the main attention in the Zone to people — those who lived and worked in an extreme situation. Nadezhda Petrenko's lively and deeply personal story, based on her diary entries and journalistic notes, is filled with many details and everyday details of that difficult time.
