Tchaikovsky tells us as much in a letter he wrote his sister Alexandra Davydova during his honeymoon: After three days with them in the country, I begin to see that everything I can't stand in my wife derives from her belonging to a completely weird family, where the mother was always arguing with the father—and now, after his death, does not hesitate to malign his memory in every way possible.
