1902. Austria. Tyrol… A Russian student from the Sorbonne, Lisa Dyakonova, goes out into the mountains alone and doesn’t return. Only a month later, a local shepherd finds her body at the edge of a ledge over a waterfall. She was naked, and her clothes lay nearby. In Dyakonova’s travel trunk, a manuscript will be discovered titled “The Diary of a Russian Woman.” The diary will be published and trigger a storm of responses. Vasily Rozanov will call it the best work in Russian literature written by a woman.
