A NOVEL AT THE EDGE OF A FAMILY DRAMA AND A PSYCHOLOGICAL DETECTIVE STORY, WHERE TENSION IS BORN NOT FROM THE CHASE, BUT FROM THE TRUTH THAT IS UNBEARABLY HARD TO SPEAK.
For five years, Sofya lived in a monastery, trying to survive the sudden deaths of her husband and little son. But beyond the walls of the sanctuary, her past would not let her go. When circumstances force her back into the world, she learns astonishing details that overturn everything she believed.
Trying to unravel the knot of deception, Sofya understands: the catastrophe that destroyed her life was not accidental—and the worst is still yet to come.
Natalia Liron has written an outwardly calm novel that gradually lulls the reader’s attention. And then, at the very moment when you least expect it, it delivers a precise and deafening blow. Light fades—and you are left face to face with merciless truth.
