Description

This is a unique work by a brilliant writer. At first glance, it looks like the ordinary correspondence of two people who find themselves in difficult life circumstances; in reality, it is a phenomenal story about the essence of being human—about the small things it is made of and how to survive in a world that is absolutely not suited for “poor people.” Moreover, it is a piercing account of romantic passion, which is subjected to various blows of chance—yet that passion prevails, despite everything that happens.
