Hard to believe, but this is the first time I have read "The Eternal Husband."
Yes, it is the Nineteenth Century, yes there are those Russian names, yes, there are those curious customs, yes there are those melodramatic moments, but once you get past the first chapter the action is continuous, the tension almost unbearable, and the ending shattering. Nobody writes like this today.
