Softening Evil Hearts

The bibliography of Vera Kolotchkova includes more than 40 novels, many of which have already been adapted for the screen. The love for the author is quite understandable, as she writes about ordinary people who strive for a better life... and fight for their own happiness. Simple and sensual, captivating and romantic, Kolotchkova's novels touch the heart, making readers empathize and rejoice with the characters as if they were acquaintances. After her mother's death, little Taya was left an orphan. The custody of the seven-year-old girl was secured by her mother's partner, businessman Philip Rogov. For many years, no one except Taya, Rogov himself, and his sister Rufina knew the dark side of this terrible "guardianship"... And even when Rogov decided to marry his grown-up victim, she was unable to escape... and secretly hoped that, perhaps, someone would save her? Maybe it would be someone's love - true and sincere, - a love that does not pride itself, does not behave violently, does not seek its own, and does not think evil?..
