Years ago, Tanja Maier learned Russian and came to conquer Moscow. She made new friends, built a career, fell in love, and everything seemed to be going well. But then things took a turn: the man with whom Tanja had a romance vanished upon learning that she was expecting a child. The first year of motherhood in a foreign country was quite challenging for Tanja, but her book is not about the hardships of being a single mother. Nor is it about the adventures of an American in Russia. It is a thoughtful, engaged, and ironic reflection on how Russian motherhood is structured. What traditions do we follow in raising children? What do we truly value? How do we see ourselves? And most importantly, what can we learn from each other? This and much more is explored in the book by Tanja Maier, a mother of three.
