Before us are the memories and thoughts of a woman who went through poverty, need, bad mood, frequent attacks of epilepsy and gambling addiction of her brilliant husband, but did not stop loving. Having become a widow at the age of thirty-five, Anna Dostoevskaya devoted the rest of her life to caring for his publications and left us a sentimental story about the true Dostoevsky, whom only a loving woman could know. The story of a family man, a loving husband, a caring and gentle father is the main theme of his wife's memoirs.
