I think I would have been more sympathetic if she had been more self-critical or learned something that would help her overcome her situation. At the end I sensed mostly resignation. She probably won't survive her next attack. The author did put me inside the charterer's head. Excellent job in that respect.Gerald Warfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11579249670806899145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-89014125783299087902015-03-09T04:07:41.486+00:002015-03-09T04:07:41.486+00:00Thanks for reading and the comments!
