The Light and the Dark Summary

The Light and the Dark by Mikhail Shishkin

Picture two people, young and in love. Picture them being separated from one another. Picture them keeping their love alive through letters. So far, so simple.

By now you realize that this novel is unique. And, when you learn how it has made Russian literary-prize history, and has to-date been sold in twenty-two languages, you begin to sense just how unique...
