Heroine, in youth - a parachutist and pilot of balloon, outliving the personal tragedy, force to take up quite another matter in other country, it be possible to say, in the world behind the looking-glass : she is a cosmetologist, lives and works in New York.The whole file of strange personages passes before her eyes, because on the sort of the present profession a heroine runs into fantastic, to date almost ordinary "gender перевертышами", with the discouragingly, and even repellent pictures of life of society. And, strangely enough, from this garland, grotesque, tragic, insignificant and high character of modern love grows on expression of heroine, "cripples"."This story there is not a single матерного word in that must go out under a vulture 18, and better 40 . - because all in her is so bare and defenceless, cynical and piercing intimately, that in many stages the paint of shame inundates a person and swashes in a heart is the confused human heart, at all times bravely and stubbornly dreaming only about one: about love".Dinah Рубина
