Marina Vishnevetskaya, who has been writing rarely but magnificently lately, catches her heroine at a difficult moment for her. Tomorrow is the wedding of her beloved daughter, her fiancé, an ex-teacher of literature with experience, is somehow not very good, her ex-husband has been living in America for a long time, and there seems to be no one to rely on … Nevertheless, Lera’s passionate nightly monologue, mixing the former a long time ago and literally yesterday , love dates, family scenes and children’s compositions, leaves a feeling of splashing life in the face and slowly moves towards dawn, towards forgiveness and acceptance of all. In order to again, as recently in the hospital, feel yourself as a solid joy, «a note in the inaudible symphony of spheres.» A very strong, masterfully constructed text about the female lot — happy! Against all odds.
