Translated title: Confession of a Happy Man. Letters from Prison

Author: Polina, Breiter

Genre: Social Novel / Short Stories

Year: 2022 | Pages: 480 | Origin: RUS | BA Seq Num: 88359

The novel 'Confessions of a Happy Man. Letters from Prison' is on par with the recent world bestseller 'Orange is the New Black'. But Polina Breiter, our former compatriot, from Odessa (not guilty of anything, unlike the heroine of the American book), spent 15 months in an American prison.

This human document is unique. Perhaps, occasionally, people just as honest, sincere and open end up in American prisons, but it is very unlikely that they are also capable of accepting everything that happens to them as an opportunity for spiritual growth, reflecting on what they have experienced and conveying their experience and observations in simple, but true and accurate words.

Here are not only the feelings and experiences of the heroine, but also a conversation about the peculiarities of American justice, and a description of everyday life in a women's prison, and remarkable psychological portraits of fellow prisoners - murderers, drug dealers, etc
