Предисловие к новелле Сердце моё. Может вы удивитесь, но эта новелла об Испании, более точно об Андалусии, а ещё точнее о Коста дель Соль.

Биография Сразу скажу: писать свою автобиографию — дело неблагодарное. Оглядываешься назад — сколько прожито, а что и как описать, довольно сложно. Может, оставим это литературоведам или историкам. Но скажу точно: я родилась. Стала человеком и даже личностью. И я — женщина. А о женщинах поэт Роберт Рождественский сказал: «Есть дни рождения у женщин — годов рождения у женщин нет». Поэтому обойдёмся без этого уточнения.
