About the book: 2020 / What is life? A moment later, “now” became foam on the waves - a memory, an echo of the past. History in words thrown randomly: the world exists all at once. The whole story, like the fate of a little girl, is woven together with everyone within her sight and imagination. Valentina's life is like waves, one after another, rolling onto the shore and leaving behind a trail of crumpled seaweed and other little things. And the book is like a box with its treasures: seaweed and seagulls, shells and stones. But all this is one Big Life. Valentina's life.
