A brand new wife
9.99 €
Inna Goff's works are very diverse: memories of her youth and wartime, research stories about the life and work of writers, impressionistic notes and travel stories about trips to Italy, Karelia, and the Moscow region.
The heroes of this book lived more than half a century ago, but they hoped and loved, were disappointed and continued to believe - just like we do today. The mother of her son, who has just returned from the army, is not prepared for the fact that her son has long since grown up and wants to get married, and tries with all her might to separate the young couple. The girl, under the dictation of her aunt, writes to an unknown woman who sent her father a letter about how happily her parents live, not even suspecting what this secret prank will turn out to be. An experienced doctor, who recently learned that he is seriously ill, cannot share the bad news with his wife and daughter, but mentally writes farewell letters to his old love, which she will never read. A married couple sets the table to welcome an old friend and his "brand new" wife, but still remembers how friendly they all were with his "first," Marisha, and compares them meticulously.
