Review of 'The eternal husband' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I just not a huge fan of Dostoysevsky. This is a short novella so it wasn't as painful, but it was still pretty hard to get through. This is one of his best. He has the internal and external elements all working and everything fits together. For the longest time I didn't know what Eternal Husband meant its a cuckhold.
