First Love

IVAN TURGENEV

valentine’s day is coming, L❤️VERS! and so the themed reviews begin...
FIRST LOVE by ivan turgenev (novella) an innocent, starry-eyed young man is swept away by an imperious & fickle princess + well captures the angst, the inevitable piercing heartbreak of first love = 👍🏻
💔
“I had ceased now to be simply a young boy; I was in love. I have said that my passion dated from that day; I might have added that my sufferings, too, dated from the same day.”
💔
