    About this ebook

    Zaharieva packs several genres into one, including but not limited to pastoral idyll, sexual coming-of-age story, and feminist memoir. Ultimately, she presents life in all its messiness and possibility, vivid enough for the reader to almost taste.”Publishers Weekly

    "This is powerful, controlled writing.”Rain Taxi

    I turned up in the seaside town of Nesebaran inconvenient four-year-old grandchild, just as my grandmother was raising the last two of her six children, putting the finishing touches on the house, ordering the workmen around and doing some of the construction work herselfthank God for that, because at least it used up some of her monstrous energy. Otherwise who knows what would've become of me.

    In Bulgaria during the height of communism in the 1960s, six-year-old Manda survives her cruel grandmother and rural poverty by finding sheer delight in the worldplump vegetables, garden gnomes, and darkened attic corners. The young Manda endures severe beatings, seemingly indestructible. But as a middle-aged artist in newly democratic Bulgaria, she desperately tries to feed her damaged soul with intrepid creativity and humor.

      Fall Memories

      Jul 25, 2023

      GEORGE ALWAYS LOVED late fall. Hunting season was just around the corner, and he and Dallas would go “scouting” for signs of wildlife in the woods. As they walked, they dreamed of big buck deer and wild turkeys; they might even flush a covey of quail

      "Is There That I Born"

      Aug 24, 2020
