Where It's Always Good

In this book, piercing, psychologically accurate coming-of-age stories unfold in a magical forest. Their heroes are talking animals and birds, but the reader unmistakably recognizes themselves in them. The overall fairy-tale quality with flying hares and time travel, the subtle psychological depth, and the lively modern language of Elena Ivchenko do not contradict each other but create an astonishing world where those who find themselves on the brink between childhood and adulthood feel at home.
