»Nino Haratischwili's novels and plays can be associated with Bertolt Brecht – her ability to depict complicated historical processes, revolutions and wars as well as human failure, opportunism as well as abuse of power and individual catastrophes and knit them together with sensual history and great female characters is reminiscent of Brecht's 'Mother Courage' and his 'Caucasian Chalk Circle'.«
