Lera Vologdina studies in graduate school in the history faculty, loves her husband Kostya and her Venetian artists—but above all, she loves life itself—everything and everyone in it, so of course she does. Yet it’s the turning-point 90s, and life throws hard tests her way. For example, her mother’s medicine is no longer available in any pharmacy—what can she do now?
Lera drops out of school and starts working as a “shuttle trader,” and that’s how she begins fighting for her place in the sun in the business world of that wild and merciless era. She is resilient, strong-willed, and determined—she can handle everything. But what will she have to give up in return?
“Woman’s Weaknesses of Strength” by Anna Berseneva is the first part of a trilogy, based on which the eponymous TV series was made in 2006. The author herself calls her work fiction, and indeed her captivating, psychological novels are a wonderful example of belles lettres—elegant wordcraft in the best sense of the phrase.
