The Border of Rain

Elena Cholmogorova’s book "The Border of the Rain" stands out from the flow of contemporary "women’s" literature. The series name on the cover—"Prose: the feminine gender"—will undoubtedly play a role in marketing: the hand reaching out for romance and intrigue is irresistibly drawn to a neatly designed volume, the heart foresees tangled schemes, storms, and passions. The listener won’t be deceived—pleasant reading is guaranteed. But Elena Cholmogorova’s book is surprisingly multi-layered, despite the ease and clarity of the text and plot.
