The heroines of the novel are three friends—and all three, as if by the cruelest irony, are going through a crisis in their personal lives. Supporting one another and trying not to despair, getting into sometimes funny, sometimes mysterious situations, they try to overcome a dark streak—and without the interference of “unexplainable” forces, each one finds her own happiness.
Ekaterina Vilmont’s novels combine humor, cheerfulness, and witty titles: “The Trip of an Optimist, or All Women Are Stupid,” “A Fortune Stripe, or All Men Are Bastards,” “Three Half-Grazes, or A Bit of Love at the End of the Millennium,” “I Want a Girl on Roller Skates!”, “I Don’t Care About Everything with a Giant Redwood,” “I Found Myself a Blond!”, “Let’s Test the Suitability of the Gentleman Lawyer,” “Overexcitation of a Primitive Person,”. It’s an ironic, light, lively prose that you read in one breath and that charges readers with optimism and faith in themselves. It has everything: ups and downs, laughter and tears, unexpected encounters and tangled relationships—and most importantly, love!
