After a brief affair, the couple part, but despite the pressures of their separate lives, both are deeply affected by their fleeting attachment.

The Lady With The Dog

An interesting dive into the pressures of status quo upholding, and the revolutionary power of love.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story, the writing, descriptions and characterisation was amazing. I liked the excitement of Dmitri and Anna's romantic attraction and forbidden love, and the description of their sorrow when saying goodbye. Definitely a story I can recommend, and that's making me want to explore Chekhov's other stories!
