The short fiction of Karine Khodikyan can be described as intellectual fiction for women. These short stories with a "mystical touch" tell stories about women - young and old, happy and sad; even when the protagonist is not a woman, the story will immerse you into the life of a woman, revealing her role in anything and everything. This book was published with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia under the "Armenian Literature in Translation" Program. Translated from the Armenian by Nazareth Seferian Proofread by Michael Wharton Publishers Maxim Hodak & Max Mendor
