MERISSA is currently reading THE WHITE DEER by REGINA MCBRIDE.
In the summer of 1879, nineteen year old Anton Chekhov stops in the Ukrainian countryside, where he meets Vera Denisova, a budding actress from a neighbouring estate. As they wander her family's land hoping to glimpse a white deer, they share their secrets and struggle with their feelings for each other. Their letters over two decades show how that summer shaped them.
"A summer outside of time, a deer that may or may not exist, and letters that grow bittersweet the moment you remember how Anton Chekhov's story ends." – Merissa
