This coming-of-age tale of an orphan named Nami, growing up in a fishing village somewhere in the former Soviet empire was recently translated into English by Alex Zucker and published by Parthian Books.

Though there was a major rainfall and storm in Los Angeles more than thirty people attended Bianca Bellova´s literary reading at UCLA Charles E. Young Research Library. Discussion was moderated by Jaroslav Olsa Jr. and Bianca Bellová was reading the extracts from her novel.
