To Live

Every book by Maria Metlitskaya is an event. They are awaited, devoured, placed on a shelf, and taken out again in difficult moments. Because Metlitskaya, like no one else, convinces us that as long as we are alive, everything can... be corrected. And that means there is simply no reason for sorrow and sadness. Life does not always go smoothly and evenly. It is impossible to win in everything, to please everyone, to love everyone. And even if you are told that such people exist, do not believe it. Life will inevitably take the opportunity to slap you, especially at the moment when it seems that everything is settled, arranged, and everything is going as it should. The heroes of this book have repeatedly realized that this is indeed the case. Life has struck them, more than once. At the most unexpected moments. Alongside. But you know who is truly happy? The one who knows that, come what may, one must live. Just live. No matter what happens. And when yet another failure, injustice, or misfortune occurs, when it seems that everything is collapsing, one must simply tell oneself: 'We keep living.' And live.
