A beautifully crafted , but believable love story, told through the eyes of a 16 year old youth. Beautifully narrated. If new to Russian literature this book is a delightful way to start, if already a fan, but new to Turgenev , you will seek more of his writing.

The crushing tenderness of unrequited love with a twist. This book will help you revisit not only the charm and delight of love, but also its brute, crushing force.

This was my first Turgenev, wow. So charming and funny and sweet. The narration was perfect. Incredible. This is the worst part about short stories, you fall in love and then they’re done.

I didn’t want it to end!
