An audiobook of the winner of the “Manuscript of the Year” prize.
Vera works as an urologist in a city hospital. She can “hear” an imminent inevitable death when doomed patients come before her— including those who don’t even realize that their death is near. But is there any point in this gift if the “heard” death can’t be stopped? And why did such a gift come to Vera specifically?
A novel about finding one’s place in reality. About the pain and fragility of the human body, about the terrible and unknown that—like predatory fish—suddenly emerges from the murky depths of life.
And about the desperate attempt to defeat that terrible thing—in defiance of logic and the laws of nature.
