ENG: Eleonora Belska: The Year of the Cat, or Love Like This

This is a warm, ironic, and truly “feminine” story (in the best sense of the word), set against the backdrop of modern-day Kyiv. The main character is a mature, intelligent woman who is going through a personal crisis but hasn’t lost her sense of humor or her belief in miracles.

Add to the list of comparisons

Magical Realism: The title is no accident—the book is filled with a “feline” atmosphere. Here, the cat is not merely a pet, but a sort of guardian of domestic comfort and a guide in matters of the heart.
The Search for Love at 40+: The author delicately and with a smile describes the heroine’s adventures at the “bride market,” dates, disappointments, and unexpected encounters that prove: life after forty is just beginning.
Kyiv Vibe: Belska’s city is very cozy—with cafes in Podil, blooming chestnut trees, and a special atmosphere that heals emotional wounds.
Psychotherapeutic effect: The book reads like a conversation with a wise friend. It teaches you to accept yourself, let go of the past, and find happiness in the little things.
