The Newcomer
6 hrs. 9 min.
Description
A tragicomical story of a young but proud young lady who came to conquer Moscow in the wild 90s from a mountain republic.
Every newcomer has their own Moscow.
Her Moscow is those people whom this wonderful and crazy city brought her together with. They protect and love her; when it rains, their hands close over her head as they go; they lead her along secret paths known only to locals, not to newcomers.
This book is about a small slice of that inverted, so to speak, newcomer life. Probably even the people living in big cities don’t suspect it exists. About a quite funny, but slightly bitter piece of life—thanks to which the girl became a “newcomer” in status and also as a Muscovite.
In our life there is always room for a feat. The first is to decide to emigrate. The second is to accept, love your new homeland as it is—with all its pluses and minuses. And this love will certainly be mutual.
