JANET SKESLIEN CHARLES

author of MOONLIGHT IN ODESSA

The world of eastern European mail-order brides and the men who finance them is the subject of this darkly comic novel.   Daria, a savvy, English speaking secretary in Odessa, Ukraine, thinks that her boss will fire her after she refuses his sexual advances. Fearing unemployment, Daria takes a second job at Soviet Unions, an Internet dating service that connects Western men with available Ukrainian women. Her romantic life swirls between a suitor in California, a Ukrainian gangster and her manic boss.  Views of East and West overlap and conflict when it comes to love, marriage, and money.
