Rate this book
Татьяна, героиня романа «ТЕРРАКОТОВАЯ СТАРУХА», бывший вузовский преподаватель, видит окружающий мир сквозь призму великой русской литературы, но… резко меняет свою жизнь: устраивается менеджером в фирму успешного предпринимателя, «нового русского», – становится его правой рукой. И – на войне как на войне: фальшивая печать, подделка таможенных документов – обычное дело!.. Главное – деньги. Нужно кормить маленькую дочь.

И теперь, двадцать лет спустя, Татьяна пытается понять, кто же она в итоге – виннер (победитель) или лузер (проигравший)?

About the author

Elena Chizhova

12 books11 followers
Elena Chizhova, a former economist, teacher and entrepreneur, finally turned to writing in 1996 after being rescued from a burning cruise ship. Since that time she has been consumed by the need to write, and has enjoyed considerable success as a result. Chizhova’s prose shuns trickery in favour of emotional honesty in order to probe the weeping sores of Russian history that contemporary culture would sooner forget.

Chizhova was born in 1957 in Leningrad, the city which provides the setting for her award-winning novel, The Time of Women, about the secret culture of resistance and remembrance amongst the mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters of Russia. Chizhova is the director of the local PEN centre in St. Petersburg. (Source: Academia-Rossica)
