Novelist Elena Chizhova is a native of St. Petersburg and the author of eight novels, including The Kitaist, The Terracotta Old Woman, Orestes and Son, and Lavra. In most of them, the action takes place in St. Petersburg, which determines both the atmosphere of the novels and the psychology of the characters. The novel "Time of Women" was awarded the "Russian Booker" prize, translated into fifteen languages and was a finalist for foreign prizes: the Central European "Angelus", the French "Rossica" and the Arab Translators Prize (Cairo). It became the literary basis for plays at the Sovremennik Theater, the Tovstonogov BDT, the Omsk Drama Theater, and the Pushkin Magnitogorsk Theater. Leningrad, the turn of the 1950s-1960s. Kommunalka, where live three lonely old women "from the former" - Ariadna, Glikeria and Evdokia.

About that life, about her grandmothers, about the past, but not disappearing, is the story of a grown up girl, an artist... In the novel "Tiny Tsahes" - the memories of a girl from another era. The mid-1970s. Elite Leningrad school. Shakespearean tragedies are staged on the school stage. It seems that this world of high passions is quite different from the Soviet one, where teachers and students live....
