Lyubov never married. Later in her life she became estranged from her mother and moved out of their house.[2] In 1913, after a trip abroad for medical treatment, Lyubov decided to stay there, and she lived abroad until her death in 1926.[2] At that period she was also known by the name Aimée Dostoyevskaya (Russian: Эме Достоевская).[3] She died in Italy of pernicious anemia.[3]

Works
Lyubov Dostoevskaya is best known for the book Dostoyevsky as Portrayed by His Daughter (
The work contains many factual inaccuracies, partly because Lyubov was only 11 at the time of her father's death, and partly because she based the memoirs on her mother's stories.[8][9][10] Many researchers tend to see this memoir as subjective and unreliable, citing as an example her bias in the description of the relationship between Dostoevsky and his first wife, Mariya Isayeva.[4] Both Lyubov and her mother Anna expressed hatred towards Isayeva.[10]
Her other works include the short story collection Bolnye devushki (Russian: Больные девушки; 1911), and the novels Emigrantka (Эмигрантка; 1912) and Advokatka (Адвокатка; 1913).
