The Diaries of Sofia Tolstoy

Here is a wife and mother that supported her famous husband in evey way she could, and in spite of her self-sacrificing and perservering love for him, didn't receive the affection she craved so much from him back. Unless he was seriously sick, and no choice but to allow her to care for him.Through all their years together and the children raised, mostly without his help or interest, she found herself disappointed with the strain he and their surviving children put on her life, but especially her husband Lev Tolstoy- famous, dignified, honoured Rusian writer who may not have continued such an illustrious career, if it hadn't been for her. All Lev Tolstoy did was write, and was a person of contradictions.
