"The idea for the novel came from the confession of an acquaintance of mine - young woman who, in her infancy, felt so neglected and lonely after the birth of her brother, that she tried to kill him" (L. Todorov). From this familiar situation of child unconscious jealousy, the writer pulls the thread of the story - a story about a complex brother-sister relationship, about separation and gentle touch between their fragile worlds. The story captures flashes of their lives, seemingly insignificant dialogues and discreet eroticism, in order to turn delicately and unostentatiously into a deep and intense psychological tale for the impossible love of two kindred spirits.
