Here are two novellas by popular Russian writer Natalia Mironina. The title of the book was given by the key story “Don’t Spill the Water.”
An old quarrel split once-kind neighbors onto opposite sides of the barricades, but love sees no obstacles, and the children of warring fathers end up together—despite everything. Can a story that ended badly in ancient Verona be brought to a happy ending in modern Moscow? Yes—if the lovers aren’t abandoned by faithful friends and wise advisers.
