Synopsis

When young Russian aristocrat Dimitri Sanin, on his way home from Italy, enters a patisserie in Frankfurt, he little dreams it will alter the course of his entire life. Faced with Gemma, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, he is blown away by the spring torrents of love. But fate has a challenge in store for Sanin, one he must successfully overcome or else he will lose his chance of future happiness. This tale of struggle against the force of natural passion speaks to the hearts of all who have experienced the fragile beauty of first love and the dark power of desire.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Mark on July 12, 2018

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
