COMMENT: The protagonists of these stories are all women, immigrant women, strong women, women suspended between two nations, women who are struggling, imperfect women, real women. The Krasikov brush with mastery of his characters and their dramatic stories and I regret that every story ends leaving too soon "suspended" their lives. In short, a very nice collection though often a bit 'too' distressing '. PLOT: A time, spotted the silhouette of the Statue of Liberty in New York port of entry for many immigrants was the announcement of a new beginning: the conquest of an unknown world where rewriting their own history. Today is different and those coming in the new village is surrounded by landscapes, trademarks, objects that are familiar in some way because he saw them on television or because there has already had to do every day. The modern media, then allow to stay in touch with relatives, children, friends who have stayed at home. This does not mean that the problems of those who choose not to or can not immigrate there are no more: it means only that has changed. And, today as in every age, relying on the sensitivity of the writers is the best way to know. The characters in this collection, mothers separated from children, young women divided between two men, expatriates who return home, seem to serve an exile from which they try to escape dramatically: it is as if they were always in two places and two times ("It's almost seven o'clock, four o'clock in Tbilisi), the one where they are physically and what they have abandoned, next to people they love.
