    About the book: 2021 / If you mix all the shades of the visible part of the color spectrum, you get white. The color of snow. Polaroid frame color. The color of the flag that is thrown away when you give up, because you no longer have the strength to withstand pain or love, there is no strength to hope. High school student Zhenya associates the most precious moments of her life with the color white - when her mothers were together, and betrayal had not yet come to their common home; when on snow-white sheets of paper she wrote more and more letters to the musician Lena, feelings for whom captured her entire being. Human intimacy, human happiness - is there anything more fragile? Even the first snow seems to stay on the ground longer. Ksenia Burzhskaya’s book has a magical property - after reading it, you begin to feel more keenly on your skin the cool streams of happiness and how day after day they irrevocably melt in the daily bustle. Yes, nothing can be returned or withheld, but you can press the “internal Polaroid” button in time. This is a novel about love, where everyone loves everyone: a girl - a boy, a woman - a woman, a daughter - her mothers... (Tatyana Tolstaya) A gentle nostalgic novel about love in all its manifestations (Dina Klyuchareva, Wonderzine) “Ksenia Burzhskaya has a sharp and daring pen . She wields it like a highly skilled swordsman wields a rapier. Her injection words are always precise, instant and to the point. She does not spare the reader, as well as her heroes. The novel “My White” is a secret wound that will never really go away, will never heal. Of course, the problems that Burzskaya writes about require the utmost care and delicacy. And she succeeds in being at the same time delicate and daring, fearless and bashful, hurting with her ironic observation and immediately rushing to save with her tenderness and affectionate care.” (Sergey Nikolaevich, editor-in-chief of the magazine “Snob”»)
