Russian term
упоением, с остервенением
Russian to English
Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
A woman describing how she began running her father's farm after his death and improving its management. There seems to be some sort of irony or other reference behind the phrase which is why I post.
Я работала с каким-то упоением, с остервенением. И результаты уже сказывались.

Don't see anything beyond the text, except I'd phrase it differently in English for better flow.
