This novel is more of a self-help book that teaches young girls how to behave in a relationship. The author even writes most important phrases in italics! So, according to the book, if you are a young girl, this is the way you should think:
- Your husband is perfect and always right. Even if you don`t understand his behavior, you should admit that he`s right.
- You must get married until it`s not too late. And it would be better to marry a well-educated, well-off man who has emigrated or will do it in near future.
- Husband can be friends with another woman and even praise her in front of his wife, but the same behavior is not acceptable for wife.
- And finally, husband tells you where to go and where not to, tells you what to wear, what to like, because... he knows better!
