What to do if you are young, smart, but no one appreciates you, and you cannot find a job? The answer is simple: go to work where they hire you, even if it’s a 24-hour stall on the outskirts of the city, and it’s the dashing nineties outside. What awaits you there? Divorce and maiden name, attacking bandits and “sitting” partners. Total “romance”! How to survive if before that you were almost a Turgenev girl with books and rosy ideas about life? The answer to this question will be found by the heroine of the novel “The Stall” by Maya Novik. She will prove that women are much stronger than they seem, that they have their own principles, and nothing: neither weak men nor harsh circumstances will force them to change themselves.
