The Goat Hurries to the Forest

A small Bashkir town, the late 90s. Lesya, nicknamed Tatar, studies at a culinary school, writes a novel about a lady-in-waiting and court intrigues, and is captivated by Balzac. She hides in books from the reality where her mother is... in prison, her father is absent, and her two grandmothers, Lyuska and Khayatka, would gladly cast a spell on each other. But while trying to discern book plots in ordinary life, Lesya unwittingly finds herself drawn into a dangerous story. "The Goat Hurries to the Forest" is a touching, funny, and painfully relatable tale about an unfulfilled childhood that will appeal to fans of Ian McEwan's novel "Atonement" and the series "The Boy's Word."
