Description
White Nights by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a poignant short story about love, loneliness, and fleeting human connections. Set in St. Petersburg during the ethereal "white nights" of summer, it follows a dreamy, solitary narrator who meets a young woman named Nastenka. Over four nights, he shares his fantasies and feelings, while she confides her longing for a lost lover.

5By genieweniesisGreat, great book. I read this in under twenty minutes. I was interested throughout every word (besides for the pages where The Dreamer went on about his life, I had to skip those as I spiraled into boredom!) Five stars.Beautiful Story
