Platform by the Rhône River

DARIA IVANOVSKAYA — poetess, playwright, producer, and host of the travel project Weekends Without Borders, founder of the art residency Elevator, author of the play The Living Room of Richard Avedon, and a graduate of Webster University Geneva in Switzerland. This book is filled from beginning to end with true events. It is about touching and bitter student friendship, first love, and first disappointments. No passion can burn forever — and this is its main distinction from love. Love, when igniting, becomes sublime, but when fading, can sometimes be destructive. This is a story about the search for true love, about how to find and keep that one and only unique person, about this immortal mystery, the key to which is kept not only on the breast but also somewhere deep within our souls.
