Julia Phillips Knihy

Dvanáct měsíců, dvanáct na první pohled na sobě nezávislých příběhů. Všechny ovšem spojuje počáteční tragédie – zmizení dvou malých dívek Sofie a Aljony. Jednotlivé lidské osudy se tenkými nitkami začnou propojovat a vytvářet tak mozaiku utrpení, degradace, problémů identity a rasismu. V divoké a nespoutané přírodě Kamčatky se dvě dívenky lehce ztratí a při jejich pátrání vyplouvá na povrch řada ran, které si tento kraj s sebou nese z historie a vyvolává v některých postavách nostalgii po padlém sovětském režimu. Dějem se vine nedůvěřivost vůči původním obyvatelům a novým přistěhovalcům a nespravedlnost dvojího metru, kterého se tito lidé dočkají od autorit i sousedů.
