'What could he [Newland] and she [May] really know of each other, since it was his duty, as a 'decent' fellow, to conceal his past from her, and hers, as a marriageable girl, to have no past to conceal?'

I had hit a brick wall in reading this. It's so unrelentingly dark and depressing, and for whatever reason I'm not able to process that with relative ease right now. Maybe it's the cold, dark, dreary winter weather, along with the extra mental/emotional demands the holidays put on me. Anyway, I seriously thought about chucking this to the DNF curb. But I think I made it over the wall, so long as I read it moderation.

I'm really struggling with whether or not I want to continue reading on with this one. Leaning more heavily towards no than yes....
