New e-book: At Dawn, Eduard Vilde

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Stella Riezeman lives in a small Baltic town where wealth, family reputation, and social opinion shape every acceptable choice. Meeting Andrei Kurbatov, a poor Russian student, challenges her understanding of duty and her own future. Through the lives of these two people, the work explores class and religious divisions, the pressure of convention, and a woman’s right to pursue education, independence, love, and a life chosen on her own terms.
