Love Keeps Us on the Ground

Warm, ironic stories about women who live "as it happens", remember "how it was", dream "how it should be", and laugh even when they want to cry. Here are the quiet pains of loss, funny household troubles, and tender moments when the scent of lilacs brings back happiness. Metlitskaya tenderly and accurately shows that it is love—in the little things, in memory, and in people—that keeps us grounded.

"All the people whose fates—if only for a moment, if only for short moments—have crossed with ours are not accidental! And these stories are no exception. They show us that it is love that keeps us on this earth." — Maria Metlitskaya
