About the book

This story happened not so long ago, in Ukraine. When I heard it, the first thing I thought was — IT DOESN'T HAPPEN LIKE THAT! The heroes have difficult fates, an ambiguous environment that requires compliance with certain rules in order to be DECENT PEOPLE. However, we often do not notice the difference between "BEING" and "APPEARING". After talking more with the narrator, I realized that I wanted to write this story down. NAMES and PLACES OF THE EVENTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED.

    Having read quite a few books on BookNet, almost all of them are described in reviews as interesting and captivating, though in reality, it's not always the case. But THIS!!!.. This is something... An incredible story, incredible characters, and extremely captivating! Thank you so much for this book.

    Lana, for two days I could hardly tear myself away from the book. Thank you for the incredible story, I'm deeply impressed, and I feel so sorry for the friends who died. Please thank the heroes for allowing their love story to be told; it is truly amazing! Is that a photo of Arthur on the book cover?

    Oh, wow! What a specimen! As my neighbor would say) I haven’t visited your page in a while, Lana. I missed Arthur! It wasn’t easy for our Zlata with her inferiority complex nurtured by others’ “kind” hands. I envy those who are reading this life story for the first time! I hope everything is well with the characters. The older ones are already teenagers, time flies))) Are the grandmothers with them?

    Lana Vernikthank you, I’ve read it!!!! Very interesting, read it in one breath, but honestly, in our current realities. When it’s cold, there’s no electricity, no heating, and the metro isn’t running... Your books warm me up. I was reading right on the street at -20, and my soul felt warm because of Stepan and Larysa. Thank you again.
