The Troublesome Daughter-in-Law

When Denis’s parents divorced, the six-year-old boy was sent to the Rozhkovs — his grandfather and grandmother. Denis’s father dies in an accident, and a year later his mother, Liza, arrives at the Rozhkovs’ demanding the return of her son. The Rozhkovs consider their grandson the last joy in their lives and throw out the daughter-in-law they despise. Liza is determined to fight for her child. The Rozhkovs realize that sooner or later they will lose the fight for Denis — the court will side with his mother. Their only chance to keep the boy is to marry Liza off to a local man who will never leave the village. But how can they possibly make that happen?

The Brothers Karamazov

Ryevsk, Russia, 1870. Tensions abound in the Karamazov family. Fyodor is a wealthy libertine who holds his purse strings tightly. His four grown sons include Dmitri, the eldest, an elegant officer, always broke and at odds with his father, betrothed to Katya, herself lovely and rich. The other brothers include a sterile aesthete, a factotum who is a bastard, and a monk. Family tensions erupt when Dmitri falls in love with one of his father's mistresses, the coquette Grushenka. Two brothers see Dmitri's jealousy of their father as an opportunity to inherit sooner. Acts of violence lead to the story's conclusion: trials of honor, conscience, forgiveness, and redemption.
