“Advent” - a novel that people unites music and make different laughter.

“There are such festive boxes with opening windows that are hidden with goodies. Advent is like such a Christmas box. The windows open - and behind them people, each with their own history, each with their own plot. These people seem to be not quite real: they have only to become alive in anticipation of Christmas. And the world around is frozen and dark, like engraving, and time is ghostly. But people laugh - in their windows - either angelic laughter, then unbridled, then desperate. And in an amazing way, this laughter somehow forms plots, makes stories luminous, brilliant Christmas tree balls. ”
