Olenka, nicknamed “the Darling,” lives by echoing the men she loves—actor, manager, vet—taking their opinions as her own until loss leaves her startlingly voiceless. Around this piercing portrait gather brief tales of clerks, peasants, and doctors where humor flickers through fatigue, pride meets kindness, and ordinary lives reveal the fragile bargains we make to be loved.
