About the book: 2022 / Translator Lisa, in order to get rid of family problems, is hired for commissioning tests of ships built for India. Working on long business trips is exactly what you need. The ships, one after another, leave for distant shores. And after them, she herself finds herself in the city where her lover, an Indian officer, serves. India surprises and makes you laugh, shocks you with its contrasts and scares you to death, but at times charms you with its beauty and spontaneity. And creates many obstacles for lovers. After all, the officer belongs to a high caste, and this imposes certain obligations on him to his family. Oh, these Indian customs! Why is their philosophy better: to give and renounce material desires in the name of complete freedom? Happiness, like a bird, constantly escapes. But there must be a place on earth where no one can separate them.
