This book is about the most precious things I have: my children, my husband, my mother, my friends. And there are also funny notes here about school, trips, leisure, and work. The collection is messy—that’s the nature of memory. It’s about the happiness of being a mother, a wife, and a daughter. Masha Traub
To find the sad in the funny and the amusing in the serious, to write about the most commonplace, everyday things so that you can’t help but keep reading—make the reader cry and laugh—Masha Traub can do it better than anyone. Listening to her books is like riding American roller coasters: up and down, from one emotion to another. “Milligrams of Happiness” is a novelty that won’t leave any fan of this wonderful author indifferent.
