In early 80's Ukraine is stricken by perestroika and struggles for
"democracy", Afghanistan is in flames of a war where hundreds of
eighteen-year-old youths are killed every day. Their peer, Dan, a
student of cinematography, hardly cares about social problems
anywhere on the planet. But one fatal encounter with a mysterious
young lady in a picturesque corner of the Carpathians changes his
life forever. Unable to let go of his love after getting lost with
her in the woods for one beautiful night, the young man's
fascination with the actress turns into an obsession. He
deliberately goes through all the hell circles in Afghanistan,
striving to burn out the traces of his unrequited love. Years later
his native country just starts experiencing a real advertising boom
amidst which he finds a new way to apply his creative talent and
inner strengths. However, the past of his love rushes back into his
life and now this obsession takes him from one continent to
another. The taut psychological thriller The Lost Button keeps the
reader transfixed. The novel encompasses an entire era from the
mid-70s of the previous century till the modern day with its
geography stretching over the European region including Kiev, the
Ukraine's periphery, Russia and Montenegro, and at last the United
States. It explores evergreen concepts of love, devotion, and
betrayal and emphasizes the idea that whenever and wherever one
lives, a tiny detail like a lost button has the power to set off a
chain of events that would lead to either one's greatest happiness
or one's greatest tragedy. It is about not looking back, but always
valuing what you have - today and forever. The Lost Button received
first place in the "Coronation of the Word" competition in 2005 and
subsequently was made into a feature film.
