Three sisters live in the small Bulgarian town of Radomir. Pirina sings songs that have neither melody nor words and yet heal sadness. Sara keeps changing partners; one of them builds a church for her, and lonely people who pray there soon find someone to love. Lyuba reads so much that she is absent from everyday life, which makes her attractive in an illogical but convincing way. Written in what a poet called mythical realism, the novel makes modern myths out of sharp, clear-sighted realism, and in it the river flows not as the universe has decided but wherever the sisters' songs take it.
