The first (and only) fictional work about the lives of Russian boarding school girls. Lydia Charskaya's debut novella became a favorite for an entire generation of readers. A book whose popularity was second only to the works of Pushkin and Gogol.

Young Lyuda Vlasovskaya enters the Institute for Noble Maidens in St. Petersburg, and her life must henceforth be governed by strict rules. But fate presents one adventure after another and prepares a serious test for the girl.

Lyuda must understand the value of friendship, face injustice, make difficult moral choices, and... grow up. The reader is immersed in the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg and the authentic lives of boarding school girls—with their unspoken laws and adolescent experiences.

The novella brought Lydia Charskaya unprecedented success: according to contemporaries, her books were second in popularity only to the works of Pushkin and Gogol.
