About the book: 2023 / "A strong woman has no right to make mistakes, to laziness and pettiness, to envy and anger. She should always walk with a smile, even if she failed at something. She should be well-groomed and beautiful, Although she couldn’t sleep for a long time at night, And look chic and happy when a huge nail sticks out in her soul,” these are lines from a poem by Svetlana Chekolaeva, which perfectly suit the heroine of the novel. Alena learned that she was the adopted daughter of her grandmother at the age of fourteen. At twenty, he accidentally meets his biological mother, not yet knowing what this acquaintance will lead to.
