    About the book: 2020 / At the old railway station in a remote village, trains have not stopped for 20 years. Gleb is a stationmaster, a former metropolitan journalist, and lives as a hermit. But that night a bell rings at the station and the train stops to let off a sick woman who urgently needs help. Gleb must take care of a stranger who is in trouble. A gifted old healer from the village helps him in this. Gleb doesn’t need extra trouble, he doesn’t need another living soul at the station, that’s not why he went to this wilderness, not so that a woman imposed by circumstances would disturb his fragile peace. By chance, Vera ends up at the station. She flees her hometown from a failed marriage and an unfulfilled life. What will this stop bring her? How will the unsociable Gleb and the old village healer change Vera’s life? Or is Faith here to change their lives? Can a road connect people with broken hearts? Or is the road just a road?…
