Elena Fedorova's books have an amazing ability to bewitch and captivate. They entice the readers from the very first page and do not release them until the final pianissimo chord is heard... And then one wants to start over from the beginning, plunging into the world of happiness and dreams, into those unknown worlds that each of us wants to find. The books by Elena Fedorova always represent an easy, confidential conversation about life, love, and friendship - about everything which is on everyone's mind, which is near and dear to every person. This is a book with three parallel stories. One takes place in the past when an Emperor used to rule. Another one is in the present, where a girl tries to unlock the mystery of Zafandel. The third is the story of Love. Just try not to skim the novel but think about every word, every phrase. Perhaps you will discover something new and unknown.
