“when i've finished reading anita shreve's the pilot's wife, what muire boland told kathryn struck me most:
"It was worse for me. I knew about you, you never had to know about me."
-i can't help thinking at what degree do their situations differ... is being a mistress really more painful because you have to endure knowing that you have to share the man you love with his other family?knowing all along that the time you will spend together is limited...or does being a wife is?when you are being cheated all along...being told lies without you realizing it...
indeed, this book really tore at my heart...=(”
