About the book: year / “They found her.” Just three words in a hissing telephone receiver make Alexandra leave her usual life and her beloved family and rush to the town of her childhood, lost in the hills. She will have to plunge back into her own hell, go through the fire and suffocating smoke of memories, balancing on the thin line between reality and madness, in order to finally reveal the terrible secret of nineteen years ago. But what if the secret turns out to be much more terrible than she could have imagined? Reviews from critics: – Evgenia Ovchinnikova knows how to create texts of increased anxiety, and she scares the reader not with a detailed depiction of the terrible and not with jump scares from around the corner. Its quiet horror oozes from the everyday routine, from the seemingly insignificant details of the ordinary, albeit not the most prosperous, life of the characters. Daria Bobyleva, writer - I found here something that I really miss in modern Russian-language literature: reflection on childhood in the nineties / 2000s, strong heroine, the interweaving of a unique natural landscape into the narrative, the theme of sisterhood.
