"Tikko tevi ieraudzīju es sapratu, ka tu esi mans liktenis, tas bija ierakstīts tavā sejā, tavās acīs, tajā, kā tu kusties. Banāli, vai ne? Bet tikai vārdi mēdz būt banāli, tas, kas notiek, nekad nav banāls."
Inga Ābele vienmēr raksta, kā elpo. Luga par trīs dienām, kas neatgriezeniski izmaina likteni - dod cerību spārnus un salauž. Skaisi uzrakstīta. Kaut skarba.
