About the book: 2023 / Our story is a series of meetings and clashes, my reluctance to see him and his persistence. I dreamed of others. And he appeared suddenly, like a tornado, like a hurricane, destroying everything in its path. I wanted with all my might to get rid of him, but fate sometimes plays out the cards in a whimsical way, and sometimes even switches to chess, forcing me to abandon old attachments, habits, feelings and accept new rules of the game. From the author: This is an easy, straightforward story. After “The Blank Map” and other more serious novels, I want to relax a little and write something simple. I hope you like it. I will be glad to see your comments.
