Djevojčica iz grada

Liubov Voronkova

The novel The Girl from the City by Soviet writer Lyubov Voronkova, published in 1942, is a moving story of childhood, survival, and hope during World War II. The work is written in a simple yet emotional style, suitable for younger readers.

The main character, little Valya, a city girl, is orphaned after her family is destroyed in the horrors of war. In search of safety, Valya flees the devastated city and arrives in a rural community, where she is taken in by the poor family of Darya, a mother of three.

The story follows Valya’s adjustment to rural life, which is completely different from her urban upbringing. At first insecure and fearful, Valya faces the hardships of rural life, but gradually discovers the warmth and support of her new family. Darya, despite her own hardships, shows Valya a motherly love, while the children in the house, although initially suspicious, bond with her through play and working together. The novel emphasizes the power of community, compassion, and resilience in difficult times.

Through Valya’s perspective, Voronkova portrays the contrast between city and rural life, but also universal values ​​such as love and solidarity.
