Lusya, the heroine of the novel, is beautiful, well-groomed, and aristocratic, but, alas, the so-called personal life is not for her. She has an elderly mother to take care of, a daughter who is a budding actress and also demands attention, as well as the unsuccessful husband of her daughter and his mother. Moreover, she has to manage a house, a garden, and work.
Once, in her early youth, Lusya had a crazy romance with a handsome actor, who became the father of her daughter. But the romance is long in the past, and in the present – there are duties and a sense of responsibility towards those who need her.
However, sooner or later, life gives everyone a chance to change everything. Whether we want to take that chance – that's the question.
The heroines of Ksenia Velembowskaya live among us. While reading her books, you will catch yourself thinking that you are living through the fates of the heroines, so vividly and authentically does the author portray them. The everyday situations described seem quite ordinary, but that is what makes them valuable: we, the readers, have often found ourselves in exactly the same circumstances, so it is easy to relate the biographies of the characters to ourselves.
