"By my own will, of sound mind and firm memory, I agree to the transfer of my memories to me."
How wonderful that people learned to preserve and accept the memory of the dead within themselves! After all, this "inheritance" is truly very expensive—to friends and relatives. And if the deceased was lonely, or if their memories are rejected, volunteers will come to the rescue.
However, in the life of each of the four heroines, their own shocks happen too. How can Galka accept the inevitability of the death of her closest person? Can Dana escape toxic fatherly love and protect her younger brother and sister? And what about Masha, who is trying her hardest to grow up and take responsibility at least for the cat? And what should Kristina do with her little son, whom it’s so hard for her to love?.. This is an emotion-filled novel about simple human warmth, friendship, mercy, and memory.
