I gave this story three stars (rather than two) only because it held me until the end, even though I should have dropped it the minute the "hero" became such an obnoxious piece of work. I suppose I continued reading just like a person is mesmerized by a serpent slowly rising out of a basket.How on earth does a writer recover her hero in such a small story if she makes him a semi-villian? She tried and to my way of thinking, failed. He never recovered from leaving Amelia to fend for herself while he nursed all the grievances against her that multiplied day by day in his mind while he was away. And the jealousy combined with his suspicions were just too silly a combination.
