Konstantin Averin, recognized as Russia’s best guide, and Stanislav Zhoglik, a laureate of a national journalism contest, present their literary debut. At the center of the plot is 37-year-old Alisa, whose life is rapidly losing color: her husband prefers other people’s beds to an old sofa, her son is going through a difficult period of growing up, and her job at the museum collapses overnight. In an attempt to escape her problems, Alisa goes to Kaliningrad. But a change of scenery doesn’t always mean escape from oneself. In her new city, she finds tangled relationships, unexpected friendships, and cultural puzzles. Here, Picasso and Bruegel’s art speaks louder than words; men resemble knights from legends; and tours turn into a journey inward.
