Description
This audiobook is about women born in the USSR who were “to live in the era of change.”
In their youth, they dreamed of a bottle of “Maybe.” They made lipstick themselves, sewed clothes that were hard to tell apart from the creations of fashion designers—because buying all of that during shortages was impossible, and yet they really wanted to be beautiful.
As adults, they gave birth to children in Soviet maternity hospitals, where from medicines sometimes there was only bandages and brilliant green. They stood in endless lines, and they saw Paris only on the TV program “International Panorama.”
But they didn’t lose optimism and femininity: they fell in love, broke up, and did reckless things for the people they loved. So this audiobook is about happy women. About how, in the end, life returns the feelings to those who love life.
