Straightforward and uncompromising memoirs by an outstanding actress. Her story of fate—with losses and triumphs—is told vividly, candidly, and with that distinctive Talyzin-style humor, where laughter is invariably accompanied by tears.
Valentina Talyzina is not only a gifted performer, but also a strong personality: visible, honest, principled. Her path resembles Gogol’s “laughter through tears”: trials were plenty, but victories were no less. She’s inexhaustible, and it had long been clear that she needed to write a book—she truly had something to say. And she did it without embellishment: precisely, with talent, and sharply. Talyzina is an actress. That explains everything.
