A review by gesch
Home of the Gentry by Ivan Turgenev

4.0

I enjoyed this book. I liked the narrative speed and the way each character is fleshed out and introduced at the appropriate time. I also thoroughly enjoyed the observations Lavretsky makes about life a swell as his confrontation with Panshin.

I found it interesting the exploration of emotions which Turgenev explores and manages to convey through writing ranging from profound melancholy to ardent passionate love.
