A Novel in Eight Parts
A sweeping realist novel follows a passionate but ill-fated affair between a high-society married woman and a dashing officer, whose liaison brings scandal, social ostracism, and the unraveling of her family life; interwoven with this is the story of a landowner wrestling with questions of faith, work, and authentic love, together exploring Russian society, morality, and the conflict between personal desire and social duty, and culminating in personal tragedy and profound moral reflection.
