The novel begins just after Easter, following the first revolution. In a brief New York Times review (1931), the novel is said to contain some Turgenev and Chekhov, enhanced by the author's personal experiences. A notably bright copy with the Ermakoff-designed dust jacket featuring an abstract art-deco image using bold geometric patterns. Dust jacket is now protected in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
