A remarkable quality of great prose by a true master is that it draws you in from the very first page and doesn't let go until the very end. Veronika Podgurskaya is a new heroine; she didn't appear in Elena Katishonok's previous novels. But the feeling of a long-standing acquaintance with her arises immediately—so authentic are the details and the precise details of everyday life. Veronika retired. "What took time had accumulated over the years and sat in several capacious plastic containers: letters, photographs, newspaper clippings. I needed to sort through the clutter, throw out the unnecessary, so as not to burden the children with burdensome worries. Two boxes of photographs, barely closing: "America." A smaller box: "Before America."" My brother remained in his hometown, which is "before America." I hadn't seen him for half a century. We called, arranged a meeting, bought a plane ticket. Now Veronica faces a return to a past she doesn't know and a dive into a present that evokes feelings far from tender. "...And yet the road leading home turned out to be too long..."—the author chose Joseph Brodsky's line as the epigraph to the novel.
