‘She intends to become a millionaire by the time she is 35.’
London 1999, and Lenka and Aggie (two enterprising young women from former Soviet bloc countries) become friends while working and studying in the UK. Fuelled by ambition, the coevals burst into the new Millennium, determined to live out the thwarted dreams of the older generations from their recently emancipated countries.
Circumstances, however, conspire to divert Lenka and Aggie away from both their intended goals and each other. Can they inspire one another anew and ultimately grasp hold of the opportunities available to them in this new Europe?
In a story spanning over a decade, personal and professional desires clash with the more prosaic realities of life. Told with quirky humour and with nature providing subliminal inspiration at vital moments, Europe of Opportunity traces the evolution of two dovetailing personalities at a time of great social change. It is a book that will appeal to readers of both an aspiring and introspective disposition.
