After poisoning her little daughter with dieffenbachia, Tanya tries to get rid of the feeling of guilt. The trial of herself is more merciless than police interrogations and social worker checks. And while the external conflict is being resolved, the internal one is only intensifying. The child's life is no longer in danger, but the heroine has to fight to save herself.
"Poison" is a universal story of women's pain in a personal way. It speaks to us about the hypocritical norms of society, the role of women and young mothers in modern Russia.
"Poison" is a precise, deep and very frank reflection on the topic of modern motherhood. Motherhood, in which shame, public censure and the trademark "Ideal Parenthood" are mixed. Every word will echo with painful recognition in the soul of any reasonably good mother. "You are not alone," the author says with her story. A very important book that I would like to give to read not only to every mother, but also to everyone around her.
