Olenka Leontyeva was once a modest schoolgirl in a prim cloth dress; now she's a renowned actress, acclaimed by Moscow audiences. Other actresses envy her talent, and tickets to her performances are simply impossible to find. Olenka's entire life is a selfless devotion to Melpomene.

Rejecting the advances of numerous admirers, she recklessly falls in love with a man completely removed from the world of art—a St. Petersburg official unaccustomed to showing his feelings. And no matter how hard Olenka tries to combine love and theater, she must make a choice. A bitter choice that will break more than one heart.

Reading Maria Krestovskaya's "The Actress" is like peeking behind the scenes at the captivating performance of a popular 19th-century actress. But this performance is truer than life itself; so sincere and moving does this book seem. Only a woman who had experienced such a strong love could have described her heroine, her feelings and painful decisions in such a way.
