Review: A well-told tale with a striking symbolic solution

This short story is about a woman who constantly attracts men who abuse her. She is currently having an affair with such a man. As much as he hurts and insults her, she continues to pursue him. She finds a very ornate gift and doesn't know who sent it. The gift changes her life.I gave this tale five stars because I felt that the gift cleverly symbolized much about her condition and a way she could perhaps overcome her obsession if, and only if, she changes her personality (by sublimating it) in the right way. I would have liked to explain this, but doing so would reveal the gist of the well-told tale.
