Oh, How Much Happiness, How Much Torment…

Nastya didn’t think for a moment when she refused the glittering future of the best singer, the proposal of marriage and love that Prince Sbezhnev made to her.

She ran away with Ilya and condemned herself to a half-starved, unbearably hard life of a camp gypsy—because she loved him, because she was ready to sacrifice everything for Ilya, even her life.

Of course, her love was mutual, and Ilya couldn’t imagine life without her—but he never considered keeping faith with her something necessary. Nastya always lived with the feeling that her happiness could be shattered in any minute. Would her premonitions come true?

Earlier, the novel was published under the title “The Heart of the Savage.”
