At the dawn of the 30s, a young merchant buys a new house and occupies one of the apartments. An officer, a beautiful artist, two doctors, an antique dealer, a Russian prince-emigrant, a gymnasium teacher, a notary... Everyone has his own joys and sorrows, his own secrets, his own voice. The voice of the house itself is organically woven into this polyphony, and the fates of people are unexpectedly and strangely intertwined when Soviet tanks enter the small republic, and a year later - fascist tanks. In a terrible short year, some residents join the ranks of convicts, others must move to the ghetto; still others manage to escape at the cost of risky ventures. Love ties and the connection between past and present are broken; the choice is not between good and evil, but between a greater evil and a lesser evil... Then the war ends, but another war begins - the war of the authorities against their people. The house is inhabited by new tenants - a former front-line soldier, a telegraph operator, old Bolsheviks, a cab driver, a large family... A slender composition, tenaciously grasped details, subtle psychology, light irony, impressionistic style of writing - all this distinguishes the new novel by E. Katishonok.
