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.12:00 to 1:30
