Lena Gorelik "Meine weißen Nächte"
Barely 23 years old, has her author style achieved to be funny, contemplative and fresh at the same time. In her autobiografical debut "Meine weißen Nächte" the Jewish Russian Lena Gorelik describes what it means to grow up with her family in this
country. And why she deals with our documentary? She speaks the commentaries!!

In her adorably funny, slightly melancholic debut novel the Russian Lena Gorelik, currently living in Germany, tells about trials and tribulations of a young woman who actually would be fully occupied by trying to make a decision between her boyfriend and her ex - but is obliged over and over again by her russian family to face reality.

Press commentary:

"Thoroughly enjoyable"
Süddeutsche Zeitung

"It is pretty funny, very melancholic and without any grievousness written in a charming conversational tone"
Glamour

"A must read!"
Saarbrücker Zeitung

"The best new novel about Germany comes from a young woman born in Russia... An absolutely adorable book in the german autumn."
bücher

"Meine weißen Nächte demonstrates that young German literature can possess ease as well as depth. Her story divided into two levels is far from being pretentiously cool pop-literature gibberish; her humour is not presumptuous; her melancholy is authentic."
Süddeutsche Zeitung

"Goreliks Storys are frequently funny, with a gentle melancholy"
Welt am Sonntag
