I found it a very moving experience with its lovely descriptions of childhood and a way of life that seems very far away from us. For me, it was an entry to another, very different world, which had times of great trial and tribulations, as well as of great joy. It was a privilege to read it and please give my warmest congratulations to Mrs. Svobodka Kostadinova on her achievement.

A novel appeal to the young to walk the road back home… the same road leading them to “what they have been deprived of, but always taking them away from what they have been left with”. A novel faith that something valuable must be there for everyone to keep against the “merciless mould of time”… A splendid novel about the painfully dear metaphors of life which she does remember in the mundane monotony of days… a novel that all of us remember.
