This is the story of the wife of the novelist Leo Tolstoy. The private side of this marriage is seen from the perspective of both the husband and wife. This biography is filled with interesting facts about the inspirations behind Tolstoys famous novels.
"Filled with passion, history, romance and tragedy, SONYA is the story of a woman's growth from child-wife to independent woman, a story that is more meaningful and moving today than ever before."
