The Cake from Yabeda-Koryabeda

Darya Dontsova is the most popular and in-demand author in our country, the darling of millions of readers. In Russia, more than 200 million copies of her books have been sold. Her work fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, confidence in the day to come! “Dontsova is an incredible workhorse! I don’t know any other writer who would work as much. I treat her with respect, as an example of writerly diligence. Women need psychological support and get it from Dontsova. I myself read several of Dontsova’s novels back then. People who read her are very different—very busy business ladies who want to switch their heads off for a while, and housewives who have a 15–20 minute break between—well—drop off/pick up the children.” — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic.
