I feel the writer has dealt with a relevant topic today because men are increasingly busy with work, but women however busy they are, juggling work and home, are designed by God to be emotional. In today's world where more money is buying comfort, luxury, high gadgets, exotic leisure and vacation gateways, there is nothing to struggle for in life after a certain stage, which was the case in yesteryear.More elaborate the communication channels, the lesser is communication and hence loneliness and boredom. The symptoms has been well projected by the author. So in a way I could relate to Linda, the protagonist. Having said that, I found certain acts by Linda too hasty and by far crossed all limits as required by a married women with a respectable job, and lovey family. I was not convinced by some acts in any way such as her impulsive behavior with Jacob in an office in the 1st meeting and the closure scene was too dramatic, far from practical. Unbelievable! We cannot surrender and close this way. It was too robotic. Real surrender should have been by talking and revealing thoughts with Jacob. Besides, the author did not give a clear messaging. Is he suggesting that let our imagination fly and we let our desires be fulfilled and our good nice husbands with welcoming hands are waiting for us at the end of it ? Also, as a piece of literature and story writing , I did not find it greatly impressive.
