Tatiana Gorina

A lively and sincere book that captivates you from the very first lines and carries you on a journey: to the very heart of Turin, and from there to France, Belarus, southern Italy, or Greece. Streets, faces, voices, dialogue.

You “hear” sounds and “smell” smells.

There’s movement in every line. You don’t just read words, you become a participant in the events. You experience, you’re indignant: you admire, you engage in arguments, you reflect on yourself. Many moments resonated with me personally, as I moved frequently myself and had to rediscover not only new friends but also myself.

This book isn’t just about emigration. It’s more about finding inner strengths and values. It’s about questions that everyone sooner or later asks themselves: Who am I? Where and how do I want to be? What do I rely on in life?

I’m glad to have another favorite book in my library, and I’ll definitely return to its pages again and again.
