ABOUT THIS BOOK
This tale of a young woman's not-so-sentimental education is the story of fifteen-year-old Lolenka, who encounters an exiled radical named Veretitsyn and begins to question her education and life. Under his influence, Lolenka breaks with tradition and embarks upon a new life as a translator and an artist, but a chance meeting with Veretitsyn years later leads to a sobering reappraisal of her mentor's convictions.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

During the course of a career that spanned more than forty years, her wide-ranging literary work included poetry, prose, drama, children's literature, translations, and critical articles.
