Stubborn Nyusya

“How unpleasant and insulting it is that life has so many unsightly things—and all you have to do is look out your house, or beyond your fence, and you’ll see their rotting carcass”—that’s what the author of the book tells.

The main character is absolute poverty. And everyone has their own way of dealing with it: someone works all day in the cold to feed the family, while someone simply decides to accept it. And if a person doesn’t always cope with harsh conditions, then an ordinary stray cat found on the street sometimes could provide a way out.

This is a story about weakness and persistence at the same time. Which of the heroes chose the second—read in Anna Blazhkova’s new book.
