On a Field AzureThe story of the upbringing and development of a young girl, Olya, -- a charming portrait with deft touches of characterization but told by no means in the conventional style of the realistic novel. This is a loving story of life on a provincial estate, very simply written in a folkloric style. On a field azure was to prove but the first part of a trilogy (the other two being Destiny and the Face of fire, and all three were finally published in one volume as Olya (1927)). |
