It was an interesting and pleasantly short story that made a good initiation to my Chekhov studies. It is still debated whether Mrs. Avilov's story is entirely fact or fiction as there are few to little pieces of evidence to support her claim that Anton Chekhov the writer was in love with her for a handful of decades.
