About the book:
Family ties are among the most diverse connections between people. The secrets hidden within four walls can sometimes bring down all walls.
The stories of Daina Opolskaitė represent contemporary Lithuanian literature. They are intriguing because of their choice of themes, even more so because of the way these themes are explored and presented, and especially because of the distinctive atmosphere of a cold, yellow, and turbulent inner landscape that permeates the collection. Daina introduces us to her world, where reality and magic confront each other in unexpected and suspenseful ways, and where ordinary people cease to be ordinary once they break through the shells that supposedly protect them but, in fact, prevent them from living with their full strength.
