Russian emigrant who wanders into a second-hand bookstore in America becomes the owner of several handwritten notebooks. In them - the story of one life and one love on the verge of obsession. The Ukrainian village where the hero is sent on vacation as a child is a semi-mystical space full of miracles and prejudices. Here is a meeting with mara, and the wedding of a village witch, and strange ritual rites. This is a book about a test of fear, which sometimes turns out to be stronger and wins, about a personal nightmare, from which it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to get out.
