<"Red Thickets is a book about finding the meaning of life that has been lost or forgotten or exhausted over the years. This is the story of the residents of an old people's home that stands in the middle of the forest near Cherkasy. Bohdan Kovtun, a former school teacher, comes there to live out his days. Suddenly, he begins to live a new life that he does not quite understand. There, he meets Joseph the Old Man, Sadness, Fish and the best dog in the world. He also witnesses and participates in intrigues, friendships and enmity, cunning pranks, mischievous joys, touching self-denial, feats and touching humanity, which is sometimes lacking and sometimes suddenly becomes unexpectedly abundant. This is a story of neighbourliness, coexistence and understanding despite the differences in their biographies.

It doesn't matter what language you speak, what stories you've had before, where you were born, where you studied, or whether you read the classics. The main thing is to root for our people.
