What was your opinion on the relationship between Lily and James? Is it romantic? Or is it inappropriate and forced?

- Latest Review: Bluewater Walkabout by Tina Dreffin
"I feel that the romance is rather mechanically forced to be more difficult than it ought to be. James is an intelligent and educated man, and nothing is more indoctrine-liberating than a good education. It's a bit strange that all of his knowledge has failed to undo the coarse pedagogy of his father. It makes no sense to me why he would continue to mistreat and be so cold to Lily when he really should no longer fear his papa."
Well, let's just say the plot-twist that the whole charade was just that, a charade, was warmly welcomed by me and my common sense. The heart is a very fickle thing, it's also a very sensitive and tender thing. It makes sense that Lily and James fell in love with each other. They were in a very unloving, unforgiving and cold world, counting only on each other for warmth. That's the kind of bond that only grows and creates more longing with distance and time, like a small flame left out in the middle of the forest. Their love, in all its messiness and confusion sometimes, is very human and organic to me, because that's how love works. It's rarely ever without confusion.
