The atmospheric story of "Lolita" from St. Petersburg of the 2000s will appeal to fans of books like "My Dark Vanessa," "The Garden of First Love," and "The Season of Poisoned Fruits".
Ksyusha runs into one of the yellow-eyed panel houses on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. There she lives with her mother - who seems loving and kind, but occasionally falls into an alcoholic abyss. Ksyusha goes to school, tries to make friends, but it's always with the wrong people.
Who is she? Our neighbor? Acquaintance? Friend?
One day, Yura appears in her life. He is married and several decades older than her. Ksyusha quickly gets sucked into a hot swamp of fears and dependencies. Will these feelings turn into true love or will they remain an attempt to fill the void left by her father with Yura's figure?
"The continuous dichotomy between childhood and sexuality creates a piercing sense that the girl is gradually being completely replaced by a woman. This is both a very scary and tender book about a non-canonical coming-of-age in the 2000s." - Lyuba Makarevskaya, writer
