The events described in this novel happened exactly one hundred years ago. The wild and roaring twenties… 1924. Naked people roam freely around the capital. You’ll say it couldn’t have happened. And you’ll be wrong. They were members of the so-called “Down with Shame” society. So… Moscow. The NEP. And a very candid story of love and passion. He is a fairly successful doctor popular in Moscow’s bohemian circles, practicing as a surgeon and osteopath. She is a loving, cherished beauty-wife. Everyone talks about them as a happy and dazzling couple. Their family is the model socialist cell of society for those times. Two sons are growing up. But is everything really so smooth in this family, as it seems at first glance? A sea of temptations, experiments with sensuality, razor-sharp jealousy, affairs that happen under the roof of their cozy shared apartment and in the presence of the wife. Polygamy and group sex—the husband considers it normal. Pain and suffering. Lies and betrayal. Secrets of the past. You’ll learn all of this by reading this novel.
