Because life is stronger than death,
Because she does not forgive those who do not take her gifts,
Because fear dissipates before love,
And a living child will be born, and the dead is already dead.
Once, 16-year-old March climbed out the window of her room at a boarding school, went out on the highway and began to vote. She was picked up by a motorcyclist. Thus began a tragic, surreal, sometimes comical, sometimes a terrible story of one flight to itself. Martha will be in a dense forest, confident that he is not able to get lost. But she was mistaken. And got lost. Meanwhile, the whole country is worried about its fate. Marta is looking for the police, looking for journalists. And she wanders along the stream, realizing that death awaits her. She spent two weeks in the forest, then trying to survive, then agreeing to die. What happened to her forever changed not only her and her life, but also everyone who was in contact with her flight. The motorcyclist who picked it up, a journalist, a leading investigation, a village hunter who went in search of her ... And everything began in childhood. When Martha was left without a mother and was brought up by her father. When I met a woman who would marry her father. And with her parrot named Rurik, who will play a key and tragic role in everything that will happen to Martha and her relatives, and with everyone who is present on the pages of this book.
This dramatic, extremely dynamic, rapid story with a distinct ironic intonation stands out sharply among other Russian books. The rhythm, pace, bright characters, a deep analysis and panoramic picture of modern Russia are the new novel of the laureate of the National Bestseller prize Anna Kozlova. The book that everyone’s life, ordinary and boring, once can rest on a crossroads on a country road, somewhere in the deafomani, and you will have to choose where to turn.
This is a book about reserves in which the ancient gods are hidden, about motorcycles that are not able to replace freedom and social networks that help people not notice themselves and their own real life. This is a mystical thriller made of photographically accurate sketches from the life of our contemporaries. In this book, neither nostalgia for the Soviet past, nor fear of the totalitarian future. This is a novel whose action takes place here and now.
"Everyone is lying" - this maxim is sad and well known. The trouble is that they lie not only with others, but first of all to themselves, justify their lies, and begin to believe in it. And she gradually fills all the pores of existence. “What a huge courage, what titanic mental health is required to just live her life,” Anna Kozlova writes about this, harshly, ironically, with discouraging truth in an exciting and masterfully built novel.
