About the book: 2004 / And the star-studded cap of the spring night has fallen on Kyiv again, and shadows slide along the streets, and whispers and laughter are heard in the darkness, and crying. And love, real and misunderstood love, wanders resentfully alone, because it is doomed to misunderstanding, to not being recognized when it comes, like inspiration, like a gust of summer wind, like a serenade in an unknown language. And she comes and goes, but we remain, because we cannot escape our fate. However, is this so? The heroes of “Half-Dead Souls” desperately fight for their happiness, which either approaches them or slips away like a mirage and beckons them along. Which one of them will have the courage to go all the way, to go all-in for the sake of a dream, for the sake of love, and finally, for the sake of saving their soul? And the events merge into one bright, mystical, like a carnival, tangle.
