Great work! As Sanjin found out, grass is not greener on the other side. In Serbian we say: Ne traži hleba preko pogače. Excellent reading by Товарищ. I'm looking forward to find more of his reading.

Wonderful story, wonderful reader, he makes it seem as if you're in 19th century Russia, very enjoyable

Lovely

A nice romantic story with colourful characters and a good plot. The reader did a splendid job and added to the feel of the story with his slightly foreign accent. It portrays a sweet love story, but be warned; the ending is bitter sweet. I still highly recommend it, though.


(5 stars)

fabulous story and reading. A tale of warning that will stay long with me. At times the writing is a bit overflowered, but forgiven.
