<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Short stories about men and women, love and hate, sex and disappointment, cynicism and hope--perhaps unique in that none of the stories reveal the time or place in they occur: the world is too small now for it to matter. A disillusioned woman, the narrator doesn't mince words about the imperfection of her life, her relationships, her prospects; yet what might in other hands seem discouraging is presented with such humor the reader can't help but feel there may yet be hope... for most of us.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>The Georgian Margarita is becoming one of the strongest female literary figures for years. And she is, in her uncomplicated, open way, more emancipated than any feminist construct... As is thematised in one short story with the rather suitable title 'Waiting for the Barbarians, ' one of Margarita's most terrible experiences is the gradual disappearance of Georgian culture as it is replaced by European and Russian standards... This thematisation makes the book an unmatched achievement that simultaneously fascinates and alienates. What does cynicism taste like? And what colour is disillusion? "Me, Margarita" is powder blue and tastes refreshingly bittersweet.--Emil Fadel "octopus-magazin "<br><br><P>"The Georgian Margarita is becoming one of the strongest female literary figures for years.
