An adapted and illustrated edition of the Russian classic, at an easy-to-read level for all ages!
When their parents die, sisters Olga, Masha and Irina are left to look after their beautiful family home. Each sister longs for more from life: Olga and Irina want to return to Moscow, while Masha is miserably married to a man she does not love. Then their brother, Andrey, marries the demanding Natasha, who is determined to make changes – and not for the better.
Will the sisters be able to hold onto what they hold dear, or will they lose everything?
