Nineteen stories, closer to parables, about life, love and death and about being human among people and angels in the Bulgaria of the transition and the crisis years. They are true to life yet strangely ghostly, like surreal paintings. In one, a woman nearing forty, who has always been happiest when sad, boards the first night train out every Friday with a bag packed for two days, makes up a sad story of her own and waits for a stranger to pour out their misfortunes.
