Description

This novel brought its 24-year-old author critical and public acclaim nearly overnight. Written in the form of letters, it recounts a blossoming romance amid St. Petersburg's slums between a middle-aged writer and a much younger seamstress. Compact and easy to read, it represents an excellent introduction to Dostoyevsky's work.

    Great novel. And though extremely sad at times, it greatly portrays the human condition; death, illness, disappointment, poverty....and all that comes with it.
