Tyazhelyy pesok

Eto istoriya lyubvi, yunoy i zreloy, kotoraya ohvatyvaet bolee tridcati let. Chitatel' stanovitsya svidetelem pechaley i radostey dvuh vlyublennyh, Rahili i Yakova, sledit za peripetiyami ih zhizni v malen'kom yuzhnom gorodke i pogruzhaetsya v nespeshnyy ritm prekrasnoy semeynoy sagi… Neozhidanno na geroev obrushivaetsya Vtoraya mirovaya voyna. "…Inogda mne kazhetsya: vse, chto proizoshlo s nimi, proizoshlo so mnoy, — pishet Anatoliy Rybakov, — i, rasskazyvaya o nih, ya rasskazyvayu o sebe. I vse zhe moy rasskaz tozhe budet lish' slaboyu ten'yu togo, chto bylo na samom dele".
