Laura Stevens’s Reviews > The Death of Ivan Ilych > Status Update

Sets the scene with a bunch of characters who’s names are hard to keep track of. Ivan Iliyich seems to have been some sort of public figure who everyone thought well of, and the first chapter seems to follow a character called Pyotr Ivanovich who knows the family rather well. Bit of a dull book so far but I’ve always struggled a bit with Tolstoy!
