A wife leaves her husband, but he remains in love with her. The story is told from the husband's perspective.
I felt that this story was a little awkward. There were some odd character names and shifting scenes, and I was confused a time or two. Also, the way in which the husband expressed his emotions didn't seem authentic to me. BUT, I'm not a husband and didn't have my wife leave me. (???)
I'm mid-way through this book, and I am now officially annoyed that these stories do not have quotation marks!
These don't seem to be getting better as you go along!!!!! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteStaci ~ I'm reading a fiction book now (not fast-paced), so it'll be a while before I get back to this collection. I'm glad. The dreariness is beginning to bother me.
