"Love Island" is a story about holy places and old priests, who in difficult years were a real support for the suffering. The book organically intertwines stories about the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, the Pochaev Lavra, priests who survived the years of persecution, and ancient Orthodox traditions. They push the framework of modernity and help to comprehend the eternity and holiness of the Church. The heroes of this book are Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov), Fr. Nikolai Guryanov, Fr. Vasily Serebrennikov and other priests, ordinary parishioners, people of art.
