This definitely kept me engaged, but sometimes the foreshadowing was a bit heavy-handed.  I don't love something being hinted at three times before actually coming out with it. But I was surprised by some events as the plot moved forward.

Although the moral seems to be that life with men is at worst, abusive, and at best, vastly disappointing. Pretty bleak look at the lives of women barely improving in the last 60 years

I prefered the couple in the past to the modern couple, in terms of their story. Much more interesting. 
Also with the modern couple I feel as though some of the plot points just disappear randomly and are never brought up again.
