In 1920 Hannibal comes to Russia and falls in love with Russian culture and the circus girl Varinka. He takes her to Denmark, builds a house for her and dreams of listening to Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev with her. But Varinka does not like music, and they somehow do not find a common language, because in her life there should have been an elephant, and she got a hippopotamus, which ate her lover (but this is another story).
Hannibal and Varinka's daughter, rumored to have psychic abilities, falls in love with a pigeon tamer. And his grandchildren, twins, choose a creative profession: Esther becomes a painter, and Olga - an opera diva. The twins' older sister Philippa, on the other hand, is preoccupied with becoming the first female astronaut before illness takes her life. "Song of Songs on Palermo Street is a life-affirming novel about family, love, and courage. The courage, after experiencing loss, to still give yourself a chance at new happiness.
