- Latest Review: Non-Disclosure by George Dapra
In fact, having seen the first few seasons, I have the feeling that there is something real between the two. Of course, their ambition goes far beyond their bond, but that does not necessarily imply that they can not feel something for each other ("I love that woman." I love her more than love blood sharks." / "You know, he was the only man - and there were a lot of others who proposed - but he was the only one who understood me."). I think you can say that both are the best that the other can look for in a couple, with all the limitations that this entails. Of course, delving into this matter would involve opening a debate about the true nature of love, but that is another story...

Oh, I'm firmly on the "waiting for him to die" team. I don't think there is anything nefarious there, but I do think that she would be better off if the king died.

In the 1910 census, my great grandfather was married to someone 18 years younger than he was...He was 47 and half would be 23 1/2, so it's close...

It is amazing how common that was even in the last century! Could you imaging marrying someone that much older or younger than yourself?!

I think like in this book, it comes down to necessity. A hundred years ago, women were still stuck in the home while the men worked. Simplistically speaking, the women needed to get married to a working man because employment opportunities were extremely limited for them. Likewise, men needed a housewife because maintaining a home was too much for someone with a full-time job back then. Then you add raising kids to the mix if a husband was widowed as my great grandfather and his father both were. Life wasn't as easy as we've had it in our lives, so reading something like this book, I can't look at the situations these characters struggle with in terms of today's society.CommMayo wrote: ↑30 Sep 2018, 23:15It is amazing how common that was even in the last century!

If you were in love, wouldn't that be better than an arranged marriage?CommMayo wrote: ↑30 Sep 2018, 23:15It is amazing how common that was even in the last century! Could you imaging marrying someone that much older or younger than yourself?!

I've always said that our modern day gender equality has more to do with washing machines than politics. The fact is that if you take away technology then taking care of a home becomes a full-time job. Only the rich women just sat around the house doing nothing.

By reading this book, we come across a series of problems that an unwanted marriage can lead. That for a successful marriage, the word tolerance has no meaning and position!..That continual compromize can ruin a marriage from the beginning, and tolerance deriving from compromize can create too many problems later, leading sometimes to desaster!..
The story reveals later, the true reasons for this marriage; secret ones, if so, or a big secret that might be hidden behind it.
I give 3 on 4 stars to the book. Everyone can draw his own conclusions!
