A new book in the series “People Who Are Always With Me” offers quality domestic prose about life. It will be interesting to fans of the cult story “Bury Me in the Baseboard.” “The House That Doesn’t Exist” immerses us in a big world revealed through the eyes of nine-year-old Alyonka in a small village. Here time stops, life intertwines with death, and every moment feels real. This is a novel-salonatory— a time machine that returns us to childhood—made for tired adults.
