"A bricklayer, Simon, dies in a small Armenian town. He lived a long life, was respected by the townspeople, but he was known for countless amorous adventures. To see him off on his last journey, all the women he once loved gather in Simon's house. And each of them has her own story. Like all books by Narine Abgaryan, this novel is tragicomic and full of wise kindness. And, like all books by Narine Abgaryan, it is about love." --
