Description
First Love
A poignant novella about the complexities of adult love, set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia's fading aristocracy.
When Vladimir Petrovich falls for his new neighbour's daughter, Zinaida, he is instantly smitten. But as their courtship unfolds, Vladimir becomes embroiled in a game of cat and mouse with other suitors, unaware that his true rival for Zinaida's affections remains hidden.
This beautifully translated novella explores the growth of knowledge and mastery over one's own heart, as Vladimir navigates the capricious nature of adult love.
