Stuck in his own life, Fadeev arrives in the dying village of Povetluzhye for his uncle's funeral. The old house, the cause of a long-standing family feud, may now belong to him.

The longer Fadeev stays in this backwater, the more he wants to escape. But the house won't let him go, nor will the local old-timers.

In a painful delirium, he sees strange dreams: a burnt whitefish, an ancient lizard Vetlugosaurus, and men drinking vodka and cursing the landlord. And also his mother, little sister Zhenya, and the giant uncle.

Dreams cleverly masking the reality that cuts off escape routes.

This is a disturbing psychological novel about a young man lost in his dreams and ideals, about an almost abandoned village and its inhabitants who have resigned themselves to their fate; it is also a crushing social drama about secrets, fear, pain, and, of course, hope that will lead to healing.

«A story with a twist that you won’t get bored with», — Maya Stavitskaya.
