"Every person has the right to return to themselves, and to see themselves, and to accept themselves, and to love themselves"—this is the personal Law of Return, which the heroine of this novel derives from the Israeli one. And from a meeting with the consular official Yakov Gendel, who once said, "There's one more problem: you were born out of wedlock." There is indeed a "problem," but not this one.

The daughter goes to the Wrong Guy. The mother—to the Country, to herself, to her grandmother Yulia Alfredovna, whose documents Gendel was sorting through. The son—to reassemble his relationship to what happened many years ago on the school hill. The husband—to himself, in the solitude of a Russian dacha.

Daria Tsivina writes dense, ironic, and honest prose about how a person, once uprooted, experiences all possible forms of return—to language, to loss, to her own children, to her former self. And about how the boomerang always flies back - sometimes to the temple.
