Sophia Tolstoy

Sophia Tolstoy, married to the renowned author Leo Tolstoy for nearly five decades, was both celebrated as his muse and criticized for her dissenting views. While initially admired for her support, she faced scorn as Leo gained prominence and developed his own religious beliefs. This narrative often portrays her as a contentious figure, overshadowing her contributions and complexities. The book explores her true character and the dynamics of their tumultuous relationship, challenging the historical perception of Sophia.
