1902. Austria. Tyrol… Russian student from the Sorbonne, Liza Dyakonova, goes out alone into the mountains and never returns. Only a month later, a local shepherd finds her body at the edge of a cliff by the waterfall. She was naked; her clothes lay nearby. In Dyakonova’s travel trunk, a manuscript is found titled “The Diary of a Russian Woman.” The diary will be published and will trigger a flood of responses. Vasily Rozanov will call it the best work in domestic literature written by a woman.
