The Abode of Bluebeard

Vera Kolochkova is the author of more than sixty novels, and many of them have already been adapted for the screen. She is loved not by chance: she writes about the most ordinary people who dream of living better and desperately fight for the right to their happiness. Her stories are simple yet delicately sensual, dynamic and romantic—they quickly capture the heart, make you worry for the heroes, and celebrate their victories as if they were close to you.

How hard it is not to succumb to temptation! How difficult it is to stay right at the edge—especially when the abyss looks like a handsome, well-off man: generous, tender, and dazzled by love. Could someone like that destroy a life—lull it with affection, wrap it in promises, and deprive it of freedom? All too easily. Sonya Pankratova never imagined she would meet exactly such a man. Besides, she has a husband. A son. And at the moment, her life has no room for feelings. But resisting temptation is not easy. And escaping is even harder—if one day you’ve found yourself in Bluebeard’s castle.
