Writer Lydia Charskaya belongs to those authors whose works touch the soul—both of young readers and adults. Her books are filled with pure feelings, faith, love, and sincerity. And it doesn’t matter whether they are fairy tales, historical narratives, or autobiographical stories.
In “Rivals. Notes of a Boarding School Girl,” Lydia Charskaya shares her memories from the time when she was a pupil of the Pavlovsk Institute for Noble Maidens. Not only is the secret life of the secluded boarding-school girls revealed, but also the experiences of young hearts.
