Description
Aunt Motya (real name Marina) used to be a Russian language and literature teacher. Now she works as a proofreader for a weekly newspaper—and she is also the heroine of the eponymous novel by Kucherskaya.
“A-dultery is a vulgar pastime for the inhabitants of women’s novels,” Aunt Motya insists—but then she suddenly finds herself at the center of a romantic relationship. And it all spins: a love affair she longs for and feels ashamed of, stuffy family life, and the crazy pace of the newspaper…
Then she gets her hands on the diary of a rural schoolteacher: a slow life of a county town, pictures of a vanished Russian way of life, scenes from the Nizhny Novgorod fair and tea plantations on the island of Ceylon.
All that remains is to understand where real life is—and where it is only an imitation.
