The late 2010s. A twenty-year-old, Sasha moves from Moscow to Berlin with no money, no acquaintances, and no special prospects. She is filled with the desire to find freedom and herself, away from her usual life and her family’s supervision. Sasha is in for all the delights of emigration: living on the edge, searching for work and battling bureaucracy, fateful encounters, desperate romances and doubts about whether she shouldn’t just go back—against the backdrop of the changing era and events that shake human lives to their very foundations. The novel’s key structural element is its second storyline—the story of the heroine’s relationship with an ever-disappearing father. Даша Охоцимская’s debut novel is a sincere, pain- and love-filled reflection on what it means to go your own way, and on the high price that you sometimes have to pay along that path.
