You can tell a book is going to be really good when you cry within the first 40 pages.

Dostoevsky’s writing reminds me of French classical authors, especially in its descriptions and long monologues. I enjoy it, but I find it challenging—not because of the language, but because of the Russian references and way of life in Saint Petersburg at the time. As this is my first Russian classical novel, I hope familiarity will come with time and research, as it did with French and English literature.
