Babiĭ veter

"The heroine, in her youth, was a paratrooper and a balloon pilot. After experiencing a personal tragedy, is forced to do something completely different in another country: she is a cosmetologist, she lives and works in New York. There are a whole string of strange characters: the heroine faces fantastic, discouraging, or even repulsive pictures of society. And strangely modern love."--Cataloger's translation & summary of the summary from the cover.
