I read it and it immediately came to my mind, how I too sometimes sit at the sewing table and think about what I would like to read. Her line "I'm very ехидная" made me laugh, because I know such women from our congregation - strict at first glance, but then you realize that they have their hearts on their hands. I wonder which book she would recommend first if we met for tea.
