Three girlfriends, Berta, Lilka and Lariska, live in post-war Tashkent. They run around the yard, act like hooligans, bother their neighbors, get scolded by their grandmothers and parents, and if they go to the theater or some other philharmonic society to get acculturated, it’s always under a stick. In general, they grow like grass among the bronze Lenins and Stalins. They comprehend the first worldly wisdom and get to know the world. The only world that surrounds them. They suspect that somewhere out there, far away, there is another world, certainly better, certainly shining. But so far they are managing well in their own way. From the publishers: if you have managed to get to know and love the heroes of “Manyuni” by Narine Abgaryan, then we recommend that you pay attention to this book. She is a little more mature, and the laughter in her is often laughter through tears. But this laughter still warms you.
