The book by the famous writer and local historian Alexander Nikolaevich Potapov tells about the Khvoshchinsky writers: Nadezhda, Sophia and Praskovia, who left a noticeable mark on the history of Russian literature of the 19th century.
Nadezhda Dmitrievna showed herself not only as a gifted writer, but also as a poetess and translator. Numerous works in prose came out from under her pen under the pseudonym V. Krestovsky.
Sophia was not only her best friend, but also her assistant and companion. Great success fell to the lot of her publicistic essay "The Lament of a Provincial", published under the pseudonym Iv. Vesenyev. However, her literary talent did not have time to fully reveal itself due to illness and early death.
The main merit of Praskovia Dmitrievna, according to the author, is that she left remarkable memoirs.
