Author

Viktorija Tokarjewa, born in St. Petersburg (Leningrad) in 1937, worked for a short period as a music teacher before studying scriptwriting at the Institute of Cinematography in Moscow. 15 films have been made from her scripts. She published her first story in 1964 and since then has devoted herself entirely to literature. She now lives in Moscow. Viktorija Tokarjewa's books have been published in 18 languages.

»Viktorija Tokarjewa's stories have always been full of charm – every one a minor miracle which instils the reader with a feeling of effortlessness. Her strong sense of humour – a talent she employes to the full – often brings a smile to the lips. It is humour founded not on satire but on gentle irony, with a dash of sadness and a generous helping of human compassion.«Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
