Najljuća jela tatarske kuhinje

Alina Bronsky

The main character, Rosa Ahmetovna, is an extremely self-centered, intrusive, tactless, sly and cunning narrator in this family saga by the author of the acclaimed novel "Scherbenpark" Alina Bronsky.

When Rosa Akhmetovna discovers that her seventeen-year-old daughter, "stupid Sulfia", is pregnant, and that the father of the child is unknown, she stops at nothing in an effort to induce an abortion, using various "folk recipes" for such cases.

But despite all her attempts, her plan backfired and Sulfija gave birth to a daughter, Aminat, in the Soviet Birth Center No. 134, who, to Rosa's great surprise and joy, is a "real Tatar" like her grandmother. While Rosa's husband Kalganov lazes in the park feeding pigeons and thinking about death, Rosa embarks on an epic battle to wrest Aminat away from Sulfia, whom she sees as a woefully incompetent mother.

When Aminat grows up a little and turns into a wild and self-willed teenager, she catches the eye of a sleazy German cookbook author who is researching Tatar cuisine, and Rosa uses his inappropriate affection for her underage granddaughter to make a deal with him that will allow the three women from the Ahmetov family to escape from the gloomy and difficult life in the Soviet Union.

But as soon as they find themselves in the West, the dysfunctional bonds that connect mother, daughter and granddaughter begin to crack.
