Re to the sentence that starts w/“He must be contented” --That's right: he's no stud anymore if women his age R no studdesses anymore. If women at 55 R too old, then so R men. So tired of double standard. It's BS. We ALL get old. It sux but is life. My husband & I are same age & he hates his age a bit more than I hate mine; he gets so down about it. I tell him stop calling himself old coz then he's calling ME old lol

I've been reading this so avidly, I keep letting my Kindle run down too far, wasting energy, which I hate to irresponsibly do. I need to be more careful. I just didn't want it to go to sleep so I can quickly pick up the story whenever I get a chance. I said in the body of my review that this book is reminiscent of Judge Judy episodes. But it's actually too sad a story--like if Shakespeare wrote a 48 Hours episode.

Damn, how terribly sad for the young man.... The writing in this book is excellent. I'm kind of disgusted with myself that I didn't read it sooner....

I got so into this book, I forgot to eat my dessert lol! I won't be updating so much anymore. I was just trying to give people an idea of what's going on with this book.

At least she has a brain and tells him she’s just desperate and poor. I'm kind of shocked to read that kind of honesty in such an old book! No wonder it was scandalous.

The visual imagery in this is so beautifully done--you can tell how much care went into writing that. I'll put more quotes in my review. The male-advantage age difference between wife & husband's typical of patriarchal nonsense & something I can't stand; I gear my writing toward the exact opposite. Women often were & still are subjected to that sexist crap. But at least the husband in this knows he's no sex symbol.
