Goodreads review by Mark

Another entertaining book by Mr Turgenev. The author seems more optimistic than his peers: even though in Torrents: love and betrayal compete disastrously, he still manages at the end to resolve his hero and his heroine with some happiness. An artful story teller. Very recommendable.......more
