Main Characters: Four friends (Magda, Irina, Anna, and Lyuba) find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of events once again. Each of them is going through her own journey of growing up, falling in love, and finding herself.

 

Magical artifact: The plot revolves around a souvenir wooden apple, split in half. It is a symbol of fate: if you find “your” other half, your life will change.

 

The search for wholeness: The main goal of the heroines is to piece together the scattered fragments of their lives, feelings, and relationships. The magic of the apple merely nudges them toward decisions they were afraid to make.

 

The atmosphere of life in Lviv: The book is filled with the coziness of cafes, the streets of Lviv, and warm conversations. This is high-quality “women’s prose”—without unnecessary melancholy, but with deep psychological insight.

 

Main idea: Happiness does not come on its own through magic; it is the result of inner work and a willingness to open up to another person.
