The action of the story "Girl from the City", written by Lyubov Voronkova in the wartime year of 1943, takes place in the author's favorite village, with the participation of her favorite hero - village children. The girl Valentina, it is true, is from the city, but by the will of circumstances she also becomes a villager. She, who lost her mother and little brother during the bombing and fled from the war, is welcomed by a village family. Darya Shalihina had three children - now she has four... The grief from the loss of her own mother has not yet been cried out and the word "mama" addressed to the woman who took her "as a daughter" is constantly stuck in Valentina's throat... But spring will come, and the child's heart will thaw. Valentina will pick snowdrops in the forest (only a small bouquet, let the rest bloom, they are much more beautiful in the forest!), will hand Darya a handful of fresh blue flowers and say: "I brought you these... mom!" Artist Vladimir Galdyaev drew the story half a century later, when the writer was no longer alive. But one can't help but feel that both the text and the drawings were created at the same time and that the writer and the artist had many conversations discussing them. The book turned out to be exceptionally coherent.
