Marina Aromshtam. Koly vidpochyvayut yanholy. (When Angels Rest)

"Everything could happen differently, if only I had a dad. Mom would then be able to consult him. She would consult him – and would not send me to study with Tetiana Volodymyrivna. Tetiana Volodymyrivna would not say: "Get up! Keep you arms behind your head!" Granddad would not be appalled by that, and he would not insist on transferring me to another school. I would not be in the class of Marsem. It was Marsem who told us about angels – that they should rest. Since then, many years have passed. But when something happens to me – bad or good – I remember this..."

But before Marsem told us about angels, Alina's life was full of events: V.G. started his visits, princes performed the feat, a new student joined the class, and magnets disappeared from cabinets...
