A masterful adaptation exploring the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Raskolnikov, a poor St. Petersburg student, who murders a miserly pawnbroker.

With all the openness to life, all the largeness of spirit, that made her girlhood memoir, The Road from Coorain, an acclaimed - and beloved - bestseller, Jill Ker Conway continues her story. She was twenty-five when we left her, driven by a hunger to know and to understand, boarding a plane that would carry her far from her Australian homeland.
