The long-awaited new book from Narine Abgaryan, author of "Zulali," "Manyunya," and "Simon," is a collection of stories about people. Very different people—young and old, clever and simple-hearted, tender and grumpy—living at opposite ends of the earth. Yet all her characters have managed to keep in their hearts the only thing that truly allows us to remain human: love.
"I have always been lucky with good people. Each one placed an important piece of the mosaic into that unfinished picture of the world I was painting for myself. Each brought something I was personally lacking. Each taught me something essential. By and large, I am the result of their efforts, a pale shadow of them.
Time flows, and life accelerates unpardonably, generously leaving by our side those who are closest and most important. The most loving and merciful ones. With them, there is no need to explain anything; with them, one need not fear being weak or foolish. Before them, there is no need to justify oneself—they forgave me on the eve of my birthday, unconditionally and forever. Therefore, all that I have in my soul now is gratitude and love. Gratitude and love."
