A Totally New Wife

The heroes of this book lived more than half a century ago, but they hoped and loved, were disappointed and continued to believe — just like we do today. The mother of the son who has just returned from the... army is not ready for the fact that her son has grown up and wants to get married, and she tries with all her might to separate the young couple. The girl, under the dictation of her aunt, writes to an unfamiliar woman who sent a letter to her father, about how happily her parents live, not even suspecting how this secret act will turn out. An experienced doctor, who recently learned that he is seriously ill, cannot share the bad news with his wife and daughter, but mentally writes farewell letters to his long-lost love, which she will never read. A married couple prepares a table to meet an old friend and his "totally new" wife, but still remembers how close they all were with his "first" wife, Marisha, and critically compares.
