The novel “Broken Ice” was born from several scattered sketches: a conversation between Ksenia and Alisa in the kitchen, black melancholy in Marina’s eyes, the wedding of Ksenia and Igor... these were three separate texts, and the characters had different names. But time passed and at one moment everything developed into a big, sometimes tragic, heartfelt story. “Broken Ice” is a novel that feels like a life lived, where you, along with the characters, are immersed in the complex world of interpersonal relationships. This novel is more than just letters on paper folded into a literary text. "Broken Ice" is a classic melodrama, with bright edges of action-packed twists.
