Set against the backdrop of 1916, the final year of Tsarist Russia, this collection serves as a lyrical diary reflecting the complexities of a young woman's life. At 23, she navigates the challenges of motherhood and marriage, explores themes of love, sexuality, and friendship, and confronts her relationship with Orthodox traditions while embracing her own instincts. The work captures her burgeoning talent within a vibrant literary landscape, making it a significant milestone in Tsvetaeva's poetic career.
