The novel "Touch" is about a married couple whose lives changed in an instant. Sculptor Barney Stark and his wife Karen accidentally spread radioactive dust throughout the city. Wherever they went, they brought disease and death with them. But their physical suffering from the radiation they were exposed to was incomparable to their mental anguish and inner turmoil. The couple faced the alienation of family and friends, the aggression of local residents, and Karen's unexpected pregnancy, something they had dreamed of for several years.

The theme is relevant in our time of environmental disasters, pandemics, and accidents. The plot is based on the story of radiation contamination, and the author focuses on how the characters experience it, every movement of Barney and Karen's soul, every expression of emotion, both positive and negative. An industrial disaster is contrasted with a person's personal catastrophe, the collapse of their life and hopes.
