Take and Remember

One of the most famous novels by Tatyana Bulatova. The story that the author tells us touches the depths of the soul. The main character, Dusya Vakhovskaya, — endlessly noble, helplessly naive — is one of those whom you continue... to think about long after the last page is turned.

She was born to be the most faithful wife in the world and the most caring mother.
But — alas! — in a country where, statistically, there are nine girls for every eight boys, every ninth woman remains lonely.
But Dusya had a gift that is not given to everyone — the ability to give.
The Seleverov family, to whom Dusya attached herself with her childish, naive soul, constantly pointed out her place: «Every cricket knows its six».
They thought they lived with a cricket, but in reality, a person lived next to them whom no one could compare with.
