Author Maria Metlitskaya

Narrator Leontina Brotskaya

Maria Metlitskaya writes in the genre of short prose. In her novellas, the author describes the ordinary fates of ordinary people. Non-trivial language, captivating plots, and a light irony distinguish the style of a real master. Without excessive moralizing and without depressive notes, Metlitskaya raises serious moral-ethical, social, and psychological problems that almost each of us faces.

The master of domestic literature, Viktoria Tokareva, highly praised Maria Metlitskaya’s work, calling her her successor.

When I look at young people in wedding attire, I usually think: “May God grant you! May you have the wisdom to understand and endure each other—and may the passion that brought you together grow into love, respect, and friendship.” Not many people manage that. But those who have not turned their monogamous marriage into monotony are rewarded.

May you, dear reader, be such a lucky one!

And if at least one of my pieces of advice—or one of my books—helps you with this, I will be very happy.

— Your Maria Metlitskaya
