В переписке между Лизой и Сашей оживают Петербург и деревня, балы и уединение, жемчуг воспитанности и искренняя самоирония. Пушкин с блеском показывает: настоящая любовь — в нюансах, паузах, недомолвках. Здесь чувства скрыты между строк, а судьба — в молчаливом выборе, сделанном не на глазах у света, а в тишине души.
