There was some good history or Rye and Dulcie but I was left very disappointed in the telling of this story. Lots of stuff is going on and it's not very cohesive. The connection between Rye and Dulcie didn't feel genuine. I don't know what he really liked about her, she just seemed mean with moments of kindness. They are both supercharged with lust for each though. There was a peeping Tom scene that annoyed me to no end. Those feelings lust/arousal come at some pretty inappropriate times. If I'm afraid my child is dying right next to me, sex is likely the last thing on my mind. I have always hated that in a story. Lust/passion, etc is perfectly fine but it needs to fit into the storyline and not just tossed in just wherever. Madeline, Dulcie's daughter, at times spoke like she might be 2 or 10 or like the 4 year old she was. I liked the ending which saved this one from the 2.5 range it looked destined for.
