23. Steady enough
Edited on Mon May-12-08 07:54 PM by bixente
Thanks for asking. This week I'll finally order "Les Miserables". While I wait for it in the mail, I've been re-reading an intense work called "Out" by Natsuo Kirino. It focuses on the lives of four women who work the night shift, a depressing time spent in front of a conveyor belt. At home their family lives are cold, harsh and altogether miserable. One of these women reaches her breaking point and strangles her husband who had been beating her up, as well as blowing all their savings on gambling and booze.

I'm sorry to go off-topic, but it's one of those things that make me realise that it's not so simple to pronounce someone good or bad. OK, this lady... she's a murderer. But judging on her character, she was pleasant enough, well-meaning in general. And her circumstances were awful. Is she a bad person for what she did?

This all happens early on, not a huge spoiler. Sorry anyway.

My best wishes, hope it all works out for the best. You deserve it.
