I was intrigued by the summary of this book and although it is based on infidelity in marriage, I decided to give it a try. The H seems to be handsome but the h is far from beautiful. The H is not happy to have been pushed into promising his dying friend that he'd marry his widow. The H had affairs from immediately after the marriage and was not discreet whilst he was away in Canada as a career soldier. His wife, the h, hears about his many indiscretions and confronts him when he returns home. The h gives the H opportunity to come clean, which he does with one notable exception. Of course this bites him in the ass towards the end.What I hated about the book is that the love between the H and the h is mediocre at best. The H admits to falling in and out of love easily so you don't really feel satisfied when he says he loves the h. We know she isn't beautiful and I never felt she was truly special (rather than just capable and strong).It's an interesting read but I wasn't blown away
