The Cherry Orchard

(BOOK 18 of the 52 week Challenge)



Anton Chekhov's last full-length play tells the story of an aristocratic Russian family at the turn of the 20th century. The family has lost their fortune and faces the sale of their estate, including its showpiece, the cherry orchard. The storyline also depicts the social changes occurring in Russia during that time period.

I enjoyed reading this selection, and look forward to discussing it with Zachary and Ryan in a couple of weeks as part of their TOG literature studies.
