About This Novel
"Letter from a Strange Woman" is Zweig's most famous masterpiece. It has been made into a movie by Xu Jinglei and adapted into a play by Meng Jinghui, which has received an enthusiastic response. On his 41st birthday, writer R received a letter without signature and address. This letter came from a dying woman and told an unforgettable love story. The hero of this story, writer R, knew nothing about it. This is a woman's "tragedy", but it has become a "fairy tale" for all mankind. At the same time, this book also includes two other classic works by Zweig: "Twenty-Four Hours in a Woman's Life" tells the story of a forty-year-old woman who, out of her son-like love for a gambler, tries to save the gambler, but ends up losing her virginity to the gambler. The beauty of passion and redemption is that it has nothing to do with love. "The Burning Secret" is a story about a mother's cheating, but the difference is that it uses a 12-year-old boy to observe the "Burning Secret" that the child does not yet understand.

What struck me initially was not the story, but just the name.
I was shocked because I seemed to see myself. I also had a crush on a boy when I was 13 years old. Until now, I confessed to him last year, but I didn't name him. My psychology is almost the same as that of the heroine. I don't know if it's sad or not.
These three books are really fascinating, especially the second one, which vividly describes the psychological activities of a twelve-year-old child. It is a good book.
The male protagonist seems to be someone I liked before, but of course I can't love him as deeply as the female protagonist!
Love so humbly. If you had it to do over again, would you still want to meet him again? Even a lifetime of pain? No matter what.
"Letter from a Strange Woman"
My love for you is a belief that even God cannot erode; you are a deception to me that even the devil cannot forgive.

Love is the eternal theme of women
I really like the sincerity of the heroine in "Letter from a Strange Woman" in her treatment of feelings, her sacrifice and persistence for her own choices, her selfless pursuit of the one she loves and her consideration of the loved one's perspective.
Your heart is beautiful Like a lonely moon; You are a moon as bright as a star So good night.
Pure and humble secret love
How inferior this strange woman must be! Poor woman, so persistent that it's terrifying
