Three Sisters is a remarkable novel based on the true story of three Slovakian Jewish sisters, who endured the worst of humanity to forge new and hopeful lives on the other side. Several soldiers and an elderly family friend, Chebutykin, come to visit for the name-day celebration. One solider, Baron Tuzenbakh, shares Irina’s idealization of labor, and they discuss their longing to work someday. Masha, the middle Prozorov sister, is about to leave the dull party when a new Lieutenant-Colonel, Vershinin, is introduced. He is a married, philosophically inclined man in his 40s, and he knew the sisters’ parents in Moscow. The sisters introduce their brother, Andrey, and brag about his academic promise.Almost a year later, Andrei and Natasha are married with their baby (offstage), a son named Bobik. Natasha is having an affair with Protopopov, Andrei's superior, who is never seen onstage. Masha comes home flushed from a night out, and it is clear that she and her companion, Lieutenant-Colonel Vershinin, are giddy with their mutual love for one another. Natasha manipulatively quashes the plans for a party in the home; the resultant quiet suggests that happiness is being quashed as well. Tuzenbach and Solyony both declare their love for Irina.
