Spring Torrents

One summer. One great love. One choice that will haunt him for a lifetime.

While traveling through Germany, young Dmitri Sanin stops in Frankfurt and meets Gemma Roselli, the beautiful daughter of an Italian confectioner. What begins as a chance encounter quickly becomes something deeper: a love so sudden and complete that Sanin is ready to abandon his old life and begin again.

Then he meets another woman.

Sophisticated, wealthy, and dangerously captivating, Maria Nikolaevna draws Sanin into a game of temptation that threatens everything he has promised Gemma-and everything he believes about himself.

Years later, a small keepsake brings the past rushing back, forcing him to confront the moment when happiness was within his grasp and the decision that changed the course of his life.

Tender, sensual, and quietly devastating, Ivan Turgenev's Spring Torrents is a timeless novel of first love, desire, betrayal, and the unbearable weight of regret.
