About the book: 2024 / For a long time, Pavel lived in his own family as if he were a hostage. His wife Ninel is a beautiful, but spoiled, childish woman. They came together against his will: Pavel’s mother put pressure on him when she found out that Ninel was expecting a child. Little daughter Ninochka became the only ray of light in this impenetrable dark kingdom. When Pavel meets a woman with whom he truly falls in love, he faces a difficult dilemma: stay in the family out of a sense of duty or leave to finally try to build a happy relationship. Pavel listens to his heart and leaves his wife, but has no idea what it will cost him. Ninel turns his daughter against her father, and she rejects him. Will Pavel ever be able to reconcile with Ninochka or will his choice in favor of love require cruel retribution??
