Excerpt from Complete Works of Lyof N. Tolsto , Vol. 7: A Russian Proprietor; The Death of Ivan Ilyitch, and Other Stories Family Happiness is a romance complete in itself. It is the autobiography of a young, passionate, and sus ceptible woman, who, being thrown into the society of her guardian, marries him, and too late discovers that the love which she has to bestow is met by a philosophic liking so cold as thoroughly to disenchant her. She narrowly escapes shipwreck, not through any inherent badness, but by the force of inertia, which lets her drift with the stream toward the chasm of illicit passion. She wins a certain serenity, and happiness returns in her acceptance of the inevitable and in her devotion to duty. It is a wonderful study of a woman's soul, and is the most poetic of Count Tolsto'f's works; it is shot through and through with the music of nightingales.
