Alter - Paperback

by Jane Peppler (Editor), Jacob Dineson (Author)

A young man, traumatized by a succession of evil stepmothers and menaced by conscription in the tsar's army, gets the girl of his dreams, loses her, he runs - but he can't hide. Though the author probably thought this was a tragedy, I thought everybody got what they needed, if not what they thought they wanted. So perhaps it's a comedy.
