Summary
Simonida Milojković: Woman
True story.
From the author of the bestseller Grabljivica and Love in the Age of Cocaine.
I got another 50 euros in the pile. I counted three times: 5550 euros. A little more and I will collect all 7000. Money that will change my life. Money to buy happiness.
When she realized that she longed for nothing so much as to realize herself as a woman, Goca quickly mastered the first step on the way to realizing her dream: from Valjevo, she stepped over the threshold of the bus onto the sidewalks of Belgrade and started a new life with a purse in her hand and some money. When her night job brought her together with Dragan, she believed that she had finally found the right one - a man who knows how to love. She received refuge: sent her man off with breakfast, welcomed him with lunch, beautified himself for him, paid his debts. Until reality destroyed everything she had built to build herself as a woman and she faced the risk that the drama of her youth would never be resolved.
Goca is not the only woman who was ready to give up her dreams for love, but her uniqueness is so unusual that the sacrifice she will have to make will be too heavy - even for one woman.
After the huge success of the novels Grabljivica and Love in the Age of Cocaine, which changed the standards of reading modern novel, Simonida Milojković continues to write with fierce language the astonishing life stories of those whom the "honest world" shuns - those who, from the edge of the acceptable world, warn of the tragedy of other people's existence.
