review 1: This is the story of two sweet, gentle, rather young and not very exciting people falling in love. That one is married to another and one is a prostitute suggests that it may be full of drama, scandal and mayhem - but it isn't. Both have lead bleak lives before finding solace in each other. The hero working hard in a job he is not really passionate about to avoid his clichéd shrew of a wife, the well bred heroine selling her body to stupidly enable her younger brother's excessive lifestyle. Both are so starved for intimacy that they can't help but fall for the first nice person they stumble upon. That makes their story unusual as well as a bit disappointing. All they want from life and from each other is pleasant company, a person they can be themselves with, a person wit... moreh whom they can share their meals and lazy afternoons in an agreeable silence. They are neither ones for witty banter nor deep conversations. It is a very bold move to open a field of possibilities with the subject matter (questions of different forms of sexuality, of moral standards, of class and prudery) and decide to never really dive into them. The heroine's profession has practically no impact on her character and behavior (apart from the fact that she considers herself unworthy). She is the same genteel, kind English Rose you encounter in so many other (older) romance stories. Nevertheless I enjoyed their story until the rather disappointing and rushed ending. Without any explanation or traceable internal development whatsoever the heroine goes from anguishing about a future that can never be because of her past to accepting the happy end offered to her. If any book was in dire need of an epilogue it was this one. How do they deal with the scorn of society that is inevitable? How do his relatives react to the union? What kind of live do they forge with each other? Nothing is answered and for once tidying up loose ends would have been absolutely crucial in order to give the story depth and impact it otherwise lacked.
review 2: Un libro diferentes, con protagonistas mas reales, que te hacen querer golpearlos, sacudirlos pero a la vez te hacen sentir sus emociones. Cuando crees que ya todo esta claro hay algún cambio y la historia da un giro. Me gustó que la protagonista no es la clásica niña tonta, mimada que hace todo lo que le ordenan y está acostumbrada a llevar una vida de princesa; ni el protagonista es el típico dandy, mujeriego, derrochador, egoista que es un vago de lo peor pero oh sorpresa!! se enamora y todo cambia, son personajes mas humanos, más como cualquier persona que podemos conocer en el día a día. less
