Maria Metlitskaya’s new novel—about how to find your “own” person. Everyone has their own “half,” and it will surely be found.
Remember: “Happiness is when you are understood”? Not everyone has experienced this happiness—finding your half, a person who understands you, accepts you as you are, without trying to change or re-educate you.
Maxim Kovalev, a writer, was certain that nothing could ever happen in his life: he was popular, rich, and had been married for a long time and firmly. His wife once “brought him out into the world,” and since then she has been guiding him with a firm hand—giving no concessions, punishing him for weaknesses, and encouraging him for successes. Was that life happy? Maxim had no time to think about it.
But one day—how often everything changes in a single moment because of that “one day”!...—he received a letter from a grateful reader. Marina Storozheva wrote that Maxim’s books saved her from loneliness and longing, helped her believe that life is worth continuing.
This letter was a lightning flash. Kovalev wondered whether he truly lives the way he should—and, above all, whether the woman beside him is truly “the one.”
