A miracle is somewhere nearby. Tales of everyday life. Zhukova A.G.

In the book of Alena Zhukov, delight and horror, tenderness and cruelty, wonderful and ordinary, myth and document are combined. Because she writes fairy tales. For adults. More precisely, for an inner child who is in any of us. Each fairy tale is a novel in a miniature, a short film. “They went down to Christmas” - about how two angels, black and white, compete in the struggle for the life of a red -haired waitress. “Two rings, two ends” - about rusty scissors who changed the life of a lonely woman, from whom one after another, her husband, daughter and cat left.

“sofa” - about the fateful hint of the Soviet sofa to the operator Alyoshka Markin, who moved to Canada. All the stories of Alena Zhukova are on the image, because inside him is just concentrated that poetry, without which real prose is inconceivable.
