For Alice and Hannah, saint and sinner, growing up is a challenge. The mother adheres to the "divide and conquer" approach in upbringing, and the father adheres to the tactics of absence. Then there's the older brother, Michael, whose disapproval is a force to be reckoned with. And finally, there is a family disaster that is never talked about, but which shaped everyone in the family.As adults, Alice and Hannah continue their journey down the road of disappointment, their lives are so different from what they imagined in childhood. They are so eager to finally find a completely different path — not the one with thistles and thorns, potholes and obstacles, but the one with love, joy and laughter. But the path of life winds and winds between the wild landscapes, until it becomes clear that nothing will work out until they sort out the relationship between themselves and their mother.And either everything will be fixed, or everything will be burned to the ground.A clever and subtle novel about family, about intimacy, about how you can search for yourself or run away from yourself as much as you want, but you won't achieve anything until you stop and look into the eyes of those who have always been there. "I'm sorry you feel that way" is a tragedy that is funnier than any comedy.
