Oh, This Lyusia

Tatiana Bulatova is not a newcomer to literature. Let's start with the fact that she is a candidate of philological sciences and has been teaching at the university for many years. And also, Tatiana Bulatova is the author of many books, which readers love for their interesting, bright stories and unique, sometimes bitter irony.
«Oh, This Lyusia» is just one of those books, amusing in some ways, bitter in others.
Her heroine is one of those whom some speak of with disdain as a «fool», while others with reverence call her a «saint». There are certainly fewer of the latter.
In fact, Lyusia is an angel. In the sense of having angelic patience and meekness. Furthermore, she is a doctor by divine providence, and this profession, as is known, implies a humane attitude towards people. Everyone uses Lyusia's patience, meekness, and humanism — patients, her husband and children, friends, friends of friends, and just random acquaintances. Those who truly love her understand: it is wasteful to cut glass with a diamond if it can be cut and admired. But Lyusia herself is convinced that her destiny is to serve others. She wearily takes her worn angel wings off the hanger and obediently squeezes her tired feet into well-worn shoes: she is needed, and that means she must hurry — to support, help, and save. Life goes on.
