About the book: 2016 / This book is about women born in the USSR, who had the privilege of “living in an era of change.” In their youth, they dreamed of a bottle of “Maybe” themselves they made lipstick, sewed clothes that were indistinguishable from the creations of fashion designers, because it was impossible to buy all this in an era of shortages, but they really wanted to be beautiful. In adulthood, they gave birth to children in Soviet maternity hospitals, where the only medicines they had were bandages and green, stood in endless queues, and saw Paris only in the program “International Panorama”. But they did not lose optimism and femininity - they fell in love, broke up, did reckless things for the sake of their loved ones. So this book is about happy women. That those who love life eventually love it back.
