Lisa from Lambeth. Carousel

The novel Lisa from Lambeth, created in the best traditions of the natural school, is dedicated to the fate of eighteen-year-old Lisa Kemp, a spirited and lively girl from a provincial working town. When one fine day a new neighbor arrives, who is strikingly different from her surroundings – he is much older, persistent, and knows how to get what he wants – Lisa unconditionally gives in to her feelings. But will this relationship turn out to be happy, considering that her chosen one already has a family and children? The carousel – the cycle of life, the alternation of successes and failures, separations and unexpected meetings. The whirlpool of passions and obsessions, envy and friendship, betrayal and selflessness. The daughter of a priest, devoted to a young poet, an aristocrat torn between pure love for a lady and carnal passion for a beautiful waitress, the wife of a respected politician who has become the victim of a predatory and cynical gigolo – each of them essentially just wants to be happy. Who among them will manage to find happiness, and who is doomed to suffer? And what price will even the most fortunate have to pay for the fulfillment of desires?
