Polina Dashkova has received repeated recognition both at home and abroad. Her works are interesting and many facts are taken from real life; the characters in her books are complex human temperaments with complicated relationships. The plot always unfolds in multiple layers and keeps you on edge until the very last page. And it doesn’t matter whether she gives the reader a big novel or a novella—when you reach the last page, you still feel sorry that the book is already finished.
The collection “The Game of Opinions” includes previously published stories, as well as the novella “Saluki,” which was first translated into German and published in Germany as a separate book. In Russian, it is being published for the first time.
