Історії про троянди, дощ і сіль

A triptych of forty-five short stories, fifteen in each part, which the author calls stories about roses, about rain and about salt, though they have nothing to do with flowers, weather or minerals. They are about human relationships, love and wisdom, and what brings people together. The characters live in different times and places and recur across the sections: a monk, Brother Stammerer, who until recently could not even read; a girl who cuts strange birds and animals out of paper; a boy who draws a ladder for a barefoot angel; a woman who bakes her husband's favourite pie after learning of his grave diagnosis; a girl who runs out into the snow after her beautiful mother strikes her.
