This book by writer Viktoria Tokareva is about people of today. The heroes of her stories are young people, somewhere on the borderline between youth and maturity, when life paths have already been chosen and attachments defined.
There is no didacticism in her stories, yet they are instructive; events in them are unreal, fantastical, and at the same time entirely plausible.
Viktoria Tokareva inclines the reader toward resisting habits, complacency, and inertia. She does not demand the impossible from her characters, but she wants every person to live to the fullest extent of their strength.
