The kind of depression that makes you feel sick in your stomach a little. I have the same feeling I had reading Our Wives Under The Sea last year, there's the idea of grieving for something that hasn't gone yet but you know will soon as you're slowly marching to the inevitable.

In this book, nothing get's resolved, you just have to keep going but you loose part of yourself as you adapt, until you become a void of what you used to be.

I hope this isn't too rambly, it's really hard to put this book into words.

I don't understand why the author needed the protagonist and R to be lovers? Not all connections have to be romance. They could have been very close friends and it would have been okay. Or if they were always meant to be lovers, at least have the guy not be married. His wife just gave birth and raising their kid alone !!! I hate it here.
