This is the basis for La Traviata and Moulin Rouge! It was a quick read and of course a tragic one. Even though you know from the beginning that Marguerite dies, it‘s still hard to read her letters by the end of the suffering she goes through with consumption. I was annoyed by the moral high ground that the narrator/author takes toward courtesans. I also found Armand‘s reasons for falling in love with Marguerite to be pretty shallow.
