"e;Winner of the Alice Award for Best Book"e;What happens if you suddenly travel from 2018 to 1980, the era of the Soviet Union, and vice versa?Two children swap time, each finding themselves in a different era where everything is different from what they know and are familiar with. They are confronted with new ideas they never considered before, and questions about time, its present and its past, searching for answers. Which is better, and why? When is playing more fun, on the computer or in the yard? What is more enjoyable: chatting freely with everyone all the time and everywhere, or being able to talk and look into each other's eyes? Is it true that time in the past is always beautiful, or is it always beautiful, and it just depends on you?The novel unfolds in two parallel time periods: the first in our present world, where Senichka lives, and the second in the 1980s, where Vitya lives, when the Soviet Union was still at its peak. Suddenly everything changes. The boy, who was used to a life based on self-reliance and striving for success while adhering to the strict rules of communism, finds himself in contrast to the girl, who was used to luxury, comfort, and getting everything she wanted when she asked for it, suddenly finding herself deprived of all that without any logical reason.
