Oh, that Lyusya

Tatyana Bulatova is not a newcomer to literature. Let's start with the fact that she holds a PhD in philology and has been teaching at the university for many years. Moreover, Tatyana Bulatova is the author of numerous books that... readers love for their interesting, vivid stories and unique, sometimes bitter irony. "Oh, that Lyusya" is one of those books, amusing in some ways and bitter in others. Its heroine is one of those about whom some say with disdain "fool," while others say with reverence "saint." The latter are, of course, fewer. In reality, Lyusya is an angel. In the sense of angelic patience and meekness. And she is also a doctor by calling, and this profession, as is known, implies a humane attitude towards people. Everyone benefits from Lyusya's patience, meekness, and humanism—patients, husband and children, friends, friends of friends, and just casual acquaintances. Those who truly love her understand: it is wasteful to cut glass with a diamond if it can be faceted and admired. But Lyusya herself is convinced that her destiny is to serve others. She wearily pulls the worn angel wings off the hanger and obediently crams her tired feet into well-worn shoes: she is awaited, she is needed, which means she must hurry—to support, to help, to save. Life goes on.
