Description

Maksim begins receiving mysterious postcards with instructions—to interfere in other people’s decisions and turn their fates another way. He reshapes lives as though mixing the components of a complex dessert, until one day he runs into his own past.

Zoya is that very mistake that, it seems, can’t be rewritten—or is there still a chance?

When coincidences become a rule, the price for the choice turns out to be far higher than anyone could have imagined.

“This novel is like a surprise dessert within: airy at first glance, yet leaving behind a lingering taste of bitterness and sharpness. Real pastry recipes are woven into the text—you want to take them with you and try to recreate them!
And still you can’t pull yourself away: tense plot twists, compelling magical realism, unguarded passion… This is genuine prose—precisely crafted. Memorable.”
