White Nights

<p>One lonely summer night in St. Petersburg two strangers meet along a deserted riverwalk-one a dreamer forever out of sync with the world; the other a young woman desperate to leave the predictable confines of her childhood home. Their connection is immediate. What starts as a single encounter becomes four sleepless nights together sharing their deepest secrets fears and hopes under the protective cover of moonlight. But when day breaks they must finally ask-how long can a moment of real happiness last?</p><p></p><p>Fyodor Dostoevsky's <em>White Nights</em> may have been written nearly 200 years ago but this story of a total introvert struggling to find love in an impatient city could have been written yesterday. It's a tale of urban longing loneliness love bad timing and-ultimately-understanding. As relatable now as it was when it was first published <em>White Nights</em> leads us through a waking dream of humid summer nights instant friendship and fleeting love. A great first-introduction to Dostoevsky's vast catalogue and a lasting favorite for his fans.</p>
