Lydia Danöfen - Maruschka

The novel Maruschka by Lydia Danöfen (after 1906-?) appeared in 1912. "Maruschka, the girl from Russia, matures to full womanhood in Munich and inspires a young merchant son with her beauty who wants to marry her, her brother who loves his half-sister madly, and her parents who have big business plans with the girl. Lydia Danöfen succeeds superbly with the peculiar mixture of characters, and particularly their real embodiment." (Albert Langen Verlag)
