The heroines of six short stories included in this collection—Arisa, Vitalina, Nelke, Roxana, Eleanora, and Yana—belong to different layers and different age groups. They aren’t connected by anything except one common goal: each wants to be happy, regardless of circumstances. These women are outright egoists. To any of them, you could apply the words of the most radical kind: “We set our own moral standards… Living by someone else’s rules means losing.”

But life is given only once. Each one deserves sympathy, each one can be understood.
