First day of spring

The worst prison is the one inside you ...

A restless, sucking narrative, conducted by an unforgettable author"s voice. - Paul Hawkins, the author of the superbesseller "Girl on the train"

A girl-child ... how is it possible? The author, a children"s psychotherapist, gives an exhaustive and making a response to the bones. You will see the usual world from a different angle, the eyes of a child, whose consciousness is knocked out of the path, is exhausted by emotional and physical hunger. You will feel it as Crissy Banks feels.
She is eight years old, and she is best in the district in her arms, walks along the fences and steals sweets. She also has a secret. She just killed the boy. The neighboring mothers are frightened to death, their horror was transferred to the children. And in Chrissy in the stomach, lemonade bubbles are seething. She feels omnipotent. Having killed, Chrissy gained strength, which he never gave her a home, where there was almost no food, and love - even less ...
Through many years, Chrissy lives under a fictional name and raises his daughter, trying to give her a childhood, which he had not had. She is panicky that the girl will become the same as her, and does everything to prevent this. And then these damned phone calls ... Someone knows who she was and what she did. The time has come to look in the eye: is it possible to forgive and get rid of the past for such a killer as she?

Their voices will sound for a long time under the arches of your skull - deep and exciting, sad and beautiful. - The New York Times
