About the book: year / Only one lamp was burning in the kitchen - the one above the sink. The tables were piled with dishes: plates, saucers, extra glasses, glasses, forks. Some were taken into the hall, but this one remained - it will come in handy later, when they eat the first portion of salads and it’s time for the hot dish that was simmering and warming the sides in the oven. In the large room, voices were bursting: jokes flowed at the table, laughter mirrored from the walls - male and female - wine bubbled in gilded glasses, the TV, still deprived of attention, echoed to itself.
