Biologists Nadja and Lev live isolated in a cabin in the Russian forests, where they used to run a shelter for orphaned bear cubs. The volunteers have disappeared; Lev is losing his memory and Nadja struggles against a memory she has been avoiding for a decade. A mysterious natural sound envelops the novel, which explores solitude, human relationships and the bond with animals.
