'The Newcomer' is the story of a small town in a big city. It's funny, a little bittersweet, but undeniably kind. Every newcomer has their own Moscow. The heroine of this book sees the city exactly as she wanted it to be: noisy, chaotic, but surprisingly good-natured—thanks to the wonderful people who offer help when it seems there's no one else to look to. Being a newcomer isn't so hard when you're surrounded by people you remember with love and gratitude decades later.
