Description

What does a person feel when they’ve lost their memory? The hero of Viktor Likhachev’s new book is involved in a car accident. In trying to remember who he is and his past life, he will travel to many places across Russia, find his love, and become part of an astonishing—even dangerous—story. But most of all, he will understand that every person carries their own cross, without which the road to God is impossible. Love for one’s native land “torments and burns” many of the heroes in Viktor Likhachev’s new book. Despite the high literary qualities of the novel “The Only Cross,” the book feels almost like a book about local history: vivid, engaging, high-stakes works in which modern life breathes with all its passions and contradictions. The novelty in Likhachev’s book is that its heroes are responsible not only for the future, but also for the past. The book is meant for the widest circle of readers—from schoolchildren and students, who, in gripping adventures, will find traces of anti-Potter, to representatives of the older generation who seek the truth.
