THREE CIRCLES OVER THE HOUSE

Slavka is growing up in a provincial Russian town in the nineties. He is like everyone else, but he is also very different. He goes to school, spends the summer with his grandmother in the countryside, reads books and is afraid of vaccinations. He counts the time in three days when he finds himself in hospital on New Year's Eve, notices details and smells, writes jokes in his notebook, visits village witches, tries to learn words in Tatar, talks to nightingales and always waits for his father to return from his daily duty in the ambulance.

Together with the reader, Slavka will go from six to fourteen years, growing up and understanding this world more and more, experiencing both the purest happiness and the truest sorrow.

The book will be of interest to modern children of primary and secondary school age, as well as to adults whose childhood was in the nineties. These are stories about why it is important to treat children as equals and how to embrace the inner child within.
