About the book: 2019 / When Sonya, a modern Moscow girl, opened the door of the apartment bequeathed to her in Jerusalem, she had no idea what was waiting for her. Strange bird tracks on the floor, the light suddenly going out and laughter sounding in the dark. A little girl who lived here alone for two years without water or food, claiming to be Sonya’s sister. Fortunately, Sonya has enough common sense to accept everything as it comes. She has no time to ask unnecessary questions. She has more important things to do: look for a job, learn a language, adapt to new conditions. Besides, she never had a sister! A novel about half-sisters, one of whom is half human and half imp. About emigration and gradual adaptation to a foreign country, climate, language, culture. About Jerusalem, a city unlike any other. About growing up, which comes late for some people and too early for others.
