It’s the character exchanges that make this a good read. What spoils it is a lengthy section where the reader is compelled to plough through a military campaign, which could’ve been scaled back by 90 per cent. It’s not irrelevant to the story, but at the same time it’s not vital. More to the point, it’s too long a digression from the main theme.
In short, an army officer is in love with a general’s daughter. She reciprocates his feelings, but is promised to another man at the Czar’s will. Problems arise from here onwards.
Never heard of this excerpt of Russian history set during 1799-1800 before reading this account. The events surprised me more than once, not least the Czar’s justice system. ( )
