Biography
Tatiana was born in 1963 in the city of Grozny. After graduation, she entered the Belarusian State University at the Department of Journalism. Sotnikova successfully graduated from the university in 1985 and then entered the graduate school of the Gorky Literary Institute.
Now she is a candidate of philological sciences, teacher and assistant professor at the Literary Institute.
In addition to scientific work, Sotnikova is engaged in creative activities, she is a writer and screenwriter. Her first book was published in 1995 and immediately received a good response from readers and critics.
Tatiana is happy in her personal life, she has a strong family. The husband of the writer is Vladimir Sotnikov, a famous children's writer. The spouses have two already grown sons. The eldest son works as a journalist, and the youngest is studying to be a psychologist.
It is impossible not to mention a sad fact from the life of Tatiana. In 1989, she was in a car accident and lost her leg while saving her son.
This event greatly affected the life of the woman, but did not break her. Sotnikova continues to work fruitfully, and her books often contain stories about how people overcome negative life circumstances and, overcoming difficulties, emerge victorious from difficult situations.
Creation
The author took the pseudonym (Anna Berseneva) while still a student. It was under this name that she wrote her articles in the student newspaper.
The writer has been published since 1995 and almost all of her books have been published in large editions. At the moment, Sotnikova has more than thirty published works in her creative piggy bank. Tatiana has been cooperating with the well-known publishing house EKSMO for many years.
Berseneva's books are not only about how to cope with hardships and hardships, but also how to remain an honest and decent person at the same time, not to lose the most important thing in your life.
Many readers in Sotnikova's novels are attracted by the fact that the situations and heroes of the books are similar to real life, without embellishment and glamor. Getting acquainted with the author's plots, they discover in themselves the best character traits and noble sides of the human soul.
The writer considers herself a fiction writer, the author of women's novels, but at the same time refuses to attribute her works to the genre of a love story with its “leafy” rules.
However, despite the "female theme" Berseneva managed to populate her books with interesting male characters. After all, it is precisely the absence of bright and strong male types that is the main reason that the female novel is in little demand in the domestic book market.
Screen adaptations of works by Berseneva
The great interest of the readership in the author's works can also be explained by the fact that films and serials have been shot based on many of Sotnikova's (Berseneva's) books.
For example, on the channel "Russia", the films "Ermolovs", "Captain's Children", "The Weakness of a Strong Woman", "Fortune-Telling by Candlelight" were shown earlier.
In the fall of 2017, a new film based on the book by Anna Berseneva - "Guardian Angel" was released.
The author's books are published with enviable consistency. One of the latest novelties is the novel Cocktail Parties, which came out at the end of 2018.
