This work continues the series of novels begun by the book “Hello, Sister,” unfolding even during pre-revolutionary times. Among the characters from various social strata, a key place is occupied by Maria Voronova’s favorite heroes—doctors. Her works abound with aspects of medical practice: ethics, humor, and the doctors’ secrets and intrigues.
On the pages of the new novel, readers will find themselves in Leningrad in the mid-1930s. Against the backdrop of Kirov’s assassination and the atmosphere of that period, stories unfold of passionate love, unbending loyalty, and human decency that even reaches self-sacrifice.
Maria Voronova is a virtuoso at recreating historical epochs—her characters easily become close, and the events she describes feel real. Her new book is another gift for readers: it awakens feelings and makes them think.
