从十九世纪70年代出现在俄罗斯文坛以来，Petrushevskaya已经出版了多部短篇小说和戏剧；如今她已被认为是俄罗斯在世作家中最好的之一。这部小说是她在美国出版的第一部作品，刻画了普通的俄罗斯人日复一日的零碎生活。无名诗人Anna Andrianovna所写的结构散乱的记叙文手稿被Anna没出息的女儿Alyona点缀成了一篇篇日记。Anna绝望地在莫斯科的一间小公寓中艰难维生，同时还要应付她那两个已经成人的孩子的无情的要求。她的儿子Andrei是个刚刚刑满释放的囚犯；没有工作，也无法脱离犯罪集团，他常常因为钱而殴打自己的母亲，并一直威胁着要搬回家住。而她的女儿Alyona，喜欢和不得体的男人在一起，并且怀了孕，正在犹豫是要留在家里，还是将孩子留给母亲然后从此消失。后来Anna那个住在养老院的老妈妈也来凑热闹。Petrushevskaya将焦点放在Anna逐渐恶化的生活处境和她作为母亲、女儿、女人和诗人的矛盾感情上。故事中的各种元素都让人充满绝望，作者经典的黑色幽默和切合实际的描写造就了这部让人心怀同感的作品的诞生。 引自《Kirkus评论》
Petrusheyskaya的短篇小说（她的第一部被翻译成英文的作品）出现在了1992年的俄罗斯作家将的最终候选名单上，这也让非俄语读者能够更好地认识俄罗斯文学。叙述者是一位上了年纪的诗人Anna，是根据同名女诗人Anna Akhmatova的故事改编，她也有一个入狱的儿子。最后的结局也是相似的，但这个Anna有点跟Akhmatova不同：她是一个没有优雅和美貌的遭受痛苦的老古板。她的痛苦来自家庭，她诗中的情感从何处而来是谁也说不准的。 她与一群粗俗的家人住在一起并供养他们，尤其是她离家出走的女儿；Alyona跟一群行为不轨的男人生下两个孩子，然后将孩子丢给了母亲；她的儿子Andrei是个用钱无度的讨债鬼。书中所描述的生活正展现了俄罗斯人所经历的最无情的生活。Anna的记述加上Alyona浪漫但绝望的日记（偷窥她圣人般的母亲的手稿）释放了主人公对美好生活的诉求。这部小说是感动人心的，也体现了Anna对孙子Tima的爱，而Anna写诗的才华也在开头就有体现：“又厚又重的鞭子，小小的扇子！所有的父母，特别是祖父母，是如此的爱自己的孩子，将他们作为对生活其他缺失的补偿。这是种罪恶的爱啊......但你又有何办法？是大自然要我们去爱。”这是一部用一种饱含感情、结构散乱的题材所书写的小说，其中充满了幽默和绝望。——对一个才女的介绍
