A philosophical novel · Denis Nushtaev
On an island surrounded by desert, one decision to leave opens into memory, imagination, and the lives of those who remain.
As departure draws closer, the story turns inward: toward the fragile boundaries of reality, the failure to fully understand another person, and the attachments that quietly hold us in place.
