Children and mothers. Mothers who themselves have barely crossed the threshold of childhood and do not yet know all the hardships of real life. Imagining a fairy tale and ignoring reality. Ignoring the pain their fathers bring them. The fathers of their children, eternal irresponsible romantic tumbleweeds, are here today and there tomorrow. But in all this there was once love! With all these strangers she once created miracles - beauty and understanding. Where does first love go? What kind of monster can she turn into if she is not let go? The cult prose writer Galina Sherbakova answers these tough questions, like life itself, in her new book.
