Read Turgenev!
Don't be put off by the sample extract of this book. The narrator has a strong accent when reading the introduction but the actual book is beautifully read and sounds completely different.
The book is less famous than Fathers and Sons, although like his other works it is amusing, sensitive and intelligent. Well worth a listen.

Loves rough path
Well read, apart from butchering the sections in French… the story doesn’t quite reach the heights T achieved elsewhere. But is fascinating still, love as a dangerous obsession, and T took a great deal of criticism for his depiction of Russia and Russians as wafting smoke.
