Inga's Zigzags, a novel by Vica Miller

 

Inga's Zigzags is the story of a 28-year-old Russian woman who, after living a decade in New York, returns to post-Perestroika Moscow to start her own business. When her job prospects fall through and she finds herself far from the heart of the action, she meets Emma and Alexandra, a pair of wealthy and well-connected magazine publishers, who lure Inga into their bed and then propose to launch a company together. When the threesome starts to fall apart, Inga is forced to make some difficult choices to find her path in the labyrinth of Moscow's intrigues and heartbreaks.
