About the book: 2019 / 1999. An accountant of a small Moscow company, together with his sister, goes to his native village for the funeral of his father, a front-line soldier. But upon arrival, they learn from their mother a previously hidden family secret. It turns out that not only he and his sister are the children of the deceased... It all happened in 1944, when a front-line soldier who was discharged after being wounded returned to the village where his bride was waiting for him... and dozens of widows who had lost their husbands, girls who, after the war, would probably not have enough grooms and just guys. What is this - kobelism or an everyday matter?
