I, the Little Dog

Talking to strangers is not allowed — this rule is well-known to eight-year-old Marina. But in a strange big city, to which the train brings her, saving her from the troubles and dangers of her native small town, Marina has... no acquaintances. However, she meets a kind and beautiful woman, Butterfly, who knows Uncle Leo, who accompanies Marina in the strange city. So, it’s not terrible if Marina lives with Butterfly for a week while waiting for her mother’s arrival. It’s just that the strange city has already spread its web like a spider and waits for the trusting fly, Marina, to get caught in it. In her novel, which combines realism and fairy-tale narrative, Vika Voitsek speaks with the voice of all the children who have become toys in the hands of adults, all the children who look at us from countless missing persons posters.
