Helpful Score: 2
This is a richly textured novel first published in Vienna in 1937 and now back in print. To be together, this young couple must overcome blood feuds, scandal, and historically accurate, significant cultural differences, particularly concerning the role of women. The love story, while interesting, is overshadowed by the fascinating glimpse that this book gives us into the long standing feud between Russia and Georgia; a feud that has just again recently erupted. For that reason, I thought it was a good, substantial read.
