Yana Verzun is a writer and journalist, author of the novels "Dependents" and "Music in an Empty House", organizer of the St. Petersburg project "People Read Stories". Olga and Andrey are middle-aged heroes, an ideal family: they are educated, well-off, caring for their children and aging parents. But one day the husband disappears, and the wife hires a private detective. And the "choir" enters the scene: mom, best friend, neighbor, sister, bartender, ex... How many people were in their marriage? And what really happened? "Yana Verzun has gathered in her novel and masterfully showcased seemingly all types of family relationships - so different - and yet so similar. If you did not find yourself among the characters of this novel, it means you did not look hard enough." Anna Matveeva
