Elena Chizhova, author of the bestseller “The Time of Women”, the novels “Little Tsakhes”, “Lavra” and “Half-Breed”, invariably chooses as the main character a bright, extraordinary woman. Tatyana, the heroine of the novel “TERRACOTTA OLD WOMAN”, a former university teacher, sees the surrounding the world through the prism of great Russian literature, but... dramatically changes his life: he gets a job as a manager in the company of a successful entrepreneur, a “new Russian”, and becomes his right hand. And - in war it’s like in war: false stamps, forgery of customs documents are commonplace!.. The main thing is money. She needs to feed her little daughter. And now, twenty years later, Tatyana is trying to understand who she is in the end - a winner (winner) or a loser (loser)?
