A review by lucysbookshelf
Flores tardías by Anton Chekhov
5.0
Fun and wit are mixed in this tale. I only read "The Cherry Orchard" by Chekhov before and since then, I keep finding little things I like about his writing. In "Late Blooming Flowers", the story seems lighthearted in style but it touches subjects such as love, sickness, society changing and how the money and the power dynamics might save or ruin a life. Chekhov transforms emotional scenes into something natural and cyclical, reminding us all that our luck can change everyday.
Something that makes both his plays and his tales notoriously his, it's that they have no ending, making me feel as an intruder who was just a viewer of someone else's life for a little while or like catching up with a friend and then never talking to them again, losing contact and having their stories unfinished.
