Recently I have found myself drawn to novels about looking back to the past, about nostalgia and youth. I guess it is a sign that I am getting older or perhaps it is a consequence of the tough time I have been having in my personal life, where, without going into too many details, death has been on the agenda quite a lot. I find myself currently feeling highly emotional, over sensitive, and sentimental. Just yesterday, in fact, I was flicking through Alain-Fourniers beautiful French novel LeSensitive. Romantic. Sincere.Imaginative story. Cleverly told.A must for anyone who likes to read.

Some books are gender specific I think. Many of Virginia Woolfs or Jane Austens for example, are distinctly written with a female audience in mind. Despite the romantic title, do not be deceived. First Love is not a romance novel, and it is written very much for a male audience.We are in Russia, Summer, 1833, a dacha near Moscow. A boy is in love with the girl next door. While this seems like a cliché premise for a novel, Turgenevs compact classic is anything but a trite teenage holiday romance.
I like Turgenev's style. It's softer, more subtle than some of his fellow 19th century Russian writers. He doesn't beat you over the head with a message. This story, as it's title suggests, is about the first love of 16 year old Vladimir, the son of a wealthy Russian family, who falls in love with the 21 year old daughter of their new neighbors. She is a princess, her family with a noble name but without wealth. She leads Vladimir along, and several other young suitors besides, but she's in love
Thank you, Fernando. - )Good to hear from you.
