  A book that makes you want to breathe easier
A wonderful, wonderful book. With light humor, depth and a suitcase of different feelings and sensations that we are currently experiencing. Each page is like breathing in unison with the characters of the book. As in “Ask Miechka”, everything revolves around one house, but not in Ukraine, but in Spain. But the main characters are our people.

  The events are very familiar to us, the thoughts are close to us, the humor is warm for us… During and after reading, we want to breathe more easily, and this breathing somehow becomes a lot of spring.

“Ladder”, Yevgenia Kuznetsova

Tolik has just fulfilled the main dream of his life: he bought a house where everything will be the way only he wants, and also four thousand kilometers from his entire annoying family. However, the war turned everything upside down, and his relatives fell on his head: his mother, one-legged uncle, a distant relative with her drooling dog, a sister with a depressed friend, and even a feline mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. At a time when in Ukraine windows are blown out by explosive waves, hundreds and thousands of people die, in Tolik’s house the war is not a trench, it is a vital one: in the details of the lives of people who are trying to create their own temporary home with the smell of tomatoes in a foreign country. Here is the unbearable simplicity of the everyday life of people whose souls are at home, in Ukraine. But the war is with them all the time. It is like a ladder that has many steps, heights and dimensions.
