Description

A literary rom-com about a boss.

She ran away from the office rat race and a tyrannical boss—closer to the beds. But it turns out he also came racing to his mom in the same village in a black Gelik!

For these May holidays, Lena had only dreamed of peace and quiet, sausages on a campfire, and dacha chores. But the boss has different plans: “You work all the holidays!”

Lena breaks loose. Raises her voice. Grabs her coffee. And almost by accident spills it on her boss’s immaculate shirt.

Career—over. Her phone is switched off. She rushes to the Quiet SNT to hide in the soil and seedlings.

And by evening, a black Gelik slowly rolls into the calm settlement. Mark Izmailov steps out of it.

It turns out his mom is Aunt Glasha—Lena’s mother’s neighbor and friend. And those two tank-like women are already rubbing their hands together, sipping tea on the veranda, and figuring out how to “get the kids together.”

Now the billionaire will have to dig potatoes under the slogan “A billion can wait—seedlings are going to spoil!”, Lena will have to watch as he and her son fix a lawnmower, and a May thunderstorm will herd them onto one old couch by candlelight.

“May Trench Warfare, or the Boss in the Garden” is a story about how you can escape from open-plan office life to a greenhouse—but you can’t hide from feelings.
