In the new novel by Dina Rubina, the motif of growing up is intertwined with the images of Tashkent, the native city of the writer. Katya Shcheglova, evacuated from besieged Leningrad, says goodbye to childhood, turning from a defenseless child into a ruthless swindler. Two decades later, her daughter Verka, a future talented artist, grows up as a lonely wild child. The story of two women, bound by mutual hatred and love, becomes a leitmotif in the chorus of voices telling about childhood and adolescence, spent against the background of military and post-war Tashkent.
