Abstract of the book "The Cheese Witch of Montfort"

After a scandal at a construction site and a mysterious death, forty-five-year-old Zhanna wakes up not in a hospital, but in an overturned carriage on a Burgundian road in the nineteenth century. Ahead lies a convent, where an obedient and overly devout young woman was being taken to quietly “live out” the rest of her life. Behind her — a broken wheel, a terrified horse, and two trunks filled with a pitiful dowry. But Zhanna has no intention of going to a convent. What she does have is her mother’s old house, a neglected yard, a half-empty kitchen, a stubborn streak, and the hands of a woman who spent her whole life working construction sites instead of sniffing perfume in salons. She knows how to survive, bargain, whitewash walls, make cheese, smoke meat, and stare at people in such a way
