The Most Valuable Thing in Me

Ekaterina Belousova's debut collection is a delicate portrayal of acceptance, the ability to forgive, and the need to love.

A doubtful bride, a traveler in the Amazon, a young couple who shelter a sick bird, mothers and their children – the heroes of these stories, both typical and exotic, acutely feel their alienation and connection with others. Will the heroes overcome solitude?

Will they be able to maintain their sanity?

And who will get the Eye?
