"The thin silvery thread is not just an image, but a symbol of death. The military call it the "trip wire". Insidious like death itself, because it can only be disclosed by an unexpected ray of sunshine – and then it will gleam maliciously, because the victim escapes, and for death – this is a defeat. Polina Zherebtsova's new book speaks about the two Chechen wars in a strict and unsentimental way, and thus it touches the depths of human consciousness. Here a schoolgirl comes with cans full of jewelry and quietly boasts that her brother, risking his life, brought the two suitcases from a jewelry shop... And they are rescued from starvation due to melted snow or a pot of soup cooked on a fire in the backyard, and search for food in bombed-out buildings, where one may fail to notice a "trip wire"...

The word most often used in the stories is "life", and this is understandable. After all, life, they say, is like a long field: one cannot cross it without pricking one's feet. Therefore, the author picks up the life stories where every character experiences unavoidable wounds, however, they also discover the way of healing them. With love.
