Meeting with his first wife Kira, who is now a stranger and inaccessible, heals old wounds and adds bitterness. Will Pavel be able to withstand the struggle with the unknown when the void begins to fill him from the inside?Tatiana Ustinova recommends: "What I like about Evgenia Gorskaya's books is that her characters are not only ordinary, but also real people! They live a very ordinary life and seem to be given a task by the author — to sort out a dark, complicated story and get the right answer. And the reward for your efforts is love, a new understanding of life, and self—confidence. This is a worthy reward, I'll tell you!.."
