"The Sweet Illusion of Life" is a story of two couples in love. One of them not quite ordinary, while the other – absolutely unordinary. It is as hard to believe it as it is hard not to believe. It is as tragic as it is light, as touching as it is violent. The narrative's absolute accessibility, sometimes its graceful ease hide the complex, sometimes unfathomable depths of human relationships. Freely capturing your feelings, it will make you laugh sincerely and cry so sweetly. However, the most important thing – as always, it will leave behind a never revealed secret. This time – the secret of unordinary people existing next to us who were destined to be either oppressed or chosen by fate."

This is a paranormal novel, where individual biographies are masterfully combined as an artistic whole, and they really appeal for a 8.5-part cinematic realization. Domestic murders and political assassinations, ideological betrayals and betrayals for the sake of ideas, souls sold to various devils, and punishments – not always fair, but frequently terrible...

The new book by Roman Ivanychuk is a diary, but it is different than the previous one, published a few years ago. It is less politicized, it is dominated by warmth and love, and each entry is an interesting alloy of journalistic and artistic reflections of the author about people close to him and about the fate of Ukraine.
