For anyone following the serial who has not yet read this one i would say go for it and do it soon, that is before the next one comes out and you fall behind.This is not just another part of the story but i think it is a defining part of the tale. The character of Oliver is very complex in that he wants to settle down and preserve what is his by birth, namely he wants to marry for money to save his ancestral home. however he is working as a prostitute while doing this. Now the point, i felt, is that emotional attachment for him is always possible but mostly absent. Still, he is a complex and very likeable character and it makes each part of the story very compelling and easy to read. But now this Christmas episode adds a whole new dimension in that we can clearly tell how he feels about Olga. it is important because we have come to a point where this complicated relationship is unfolding and we find that there is a kind of warmth here that i personally didnt notice but it has been unravelling as we read each part of the serial.that is very clever and makes me think about the events of each part i have read before this, but in a whole new light.dont pass this story by
