Hmm, maybe you're right. I guess I was taking it too much in the context of Norwegian Wood, LOL! Speaking of which, I realized we still haven't discussed that book. It's one of your favorites too right? I'm curious of what you think about the ending and the characters :) .-= [Mark David´s last blog: Review: The Historian] =-.

I disagree that most men would fall or have soft spot for the damsels in distress ;). The book conveys two opposite sides of this opinion, which makes it interesting. You’d see what I mean after you read the book, because I don’t want to give away too much!

I don’t know if The Moonstone is slimmer. But I encourage you to read either one, because even if The Woman in White is so thick, it was really satisfying. I never got bored or felt it repetitive.

I too had an inkling (or was hoping) that Walter may fall for Marian at last, but alas. I was also disappointed that Marian was left unmarried. Not exactly about the marriage bit, but about how she doesn’t find anyone for her, since she’s so busy taking care of her sister! I agree that Count Fosco’s feelings for her were so interesting ;)
