Stories

Love conquers not only separations and death, but even betrayal, resentments, and hatred… The heroes of Victoria Tokareva’s new collection come to understand this through inevitable human suffering and contradictory twists of fate. Something elusive and forgiving suddenly turns out to be stronger than human passions. And now no one judges anyone; each person has their own encounters with themselves and the world, their own searches through mistakes.

“Pushkin’s calm” is what one might call Victoria Tokareva’s prose. Her works console, helping us see life as something that still hasn’t been fully deciphered.
