Brief Overview
"Letter from an Unknown Woman" is a poignant and dramatic tale of unrequited love. The main character, a successful writer, receives a letter from a woman who confesses her lifelong love for him. She recounts how she first saw him as a child, how she followed his life, and how their paths crossed several times, yet he never recognized her. The woman describes her life, filled with suffering and loneliness, and reveals that she has a son by him, of whom he knows nothing. The letter ends tragically: the woman dies without ever revealing her identity. This story illustrates the depth of human emotions and the tragedy of unreciprocated love.
