2006. aasta romaanivõistluse võitja Tiina Laanem kirjutab oma esimeses romaanis kõigist neist meestest ja naistest ja lastest, kes iga päev meie keskel oma elu elavad. Seab küsimuse alla sõpruse tegelikkuse ja sisu. Elu tegelikkuse ja sisu. Susi sest kõigest aru saagu. Kõige rohkem räägitakse ses raamatus ikka meestest, kelle varjus joonistuvad välja naised. Ja kusagil kaugel, õige tasa ja õige vaikselt, on ka lapsed. Loeb Hannes Kaljujärv.
