There is a girl Dina treading the globe. She is somewhat unreasonable, a little unlucky and very unsure of herself. She has no friends, and boys do not fall in love with her. But she has a mother, who runs the life of her daughter with insuperable ardour. So, the girl Dina finishes school and decides to go to study in another city, where her “cracked and totally foolhardy grandmother” lives. Dina''s mother thinks exactly this way, and frightens her daughter by that horrid place where her crazy kinswoman works. What is the “horrid place” like and what will be relations between the granddaughter and the bodacious Granny? One can know it only after reading this short novel, written easily, with humour and love.
