Moscow. Apartment Symphony

Nothing is eternal. People are born and disappear, wallpapers are re-glued, alleys change names, and new buildings rise where the old ones stood. But there is something unchanging: the walls of your first apartment, the first courtyard in your life,... the creak of old swings – like a melody from distant childhood. Another wave of the conductor's baton… and the neighbors from communal youth become close to you, getting stuck in memory forever. The heroine of the book is a former realtor. Through the stories of apartments – large and small, private and communal, 'destroyed' and not so much – Oksana Darovskaya manages to recreate authentic portraits of people, whose sorrows and joys, falls and rises intertwine in a series of diverse fates, becoming the driving force of this book, its multi-voiced leitmotif, sometimes sad, sometimes joyful, like life itself.
