All My Faces

Sometimes all the troubles of the world fall on one head at once. Though some say it’s an adventure. The heroine of this book—a girl raised in an orphanage nicknamed Lena-Sapog—keeps stumbling into one story after another, and none of them are particularly fun. To start with, she’s an orphan twice—and that doesn’t happen to everyone. The world around her is constantly cracking; even the soap-bubble of love turns out to be an illusion. Only one thing seems unshakable: her friendship with Masha-Africa, the same orphanage girl as her. But even this friendship once lets her down. Will Lena get out of all her troubles, what losses will she suffer along the way, what monsters and heroes will she meet, and where will this path lead her? You’ll find out by reading the book “All My Faces” by the author of the detective novel “One, Two, Three, Four, Five, I’m Going to Look for You,” which made the longlist of the Electronic Letter prize.
