I think this book looses something in translation. It is originally in French and I don't know if it translates well to English. I was engaged but could not help the thought that I was missing details of the story. Again, this might be a translation issue. I just couldn't understand how she got so wrapped up or how he got so much power over her. She was obsessed in a way that I could not understand. That's why I think some elements were lost in translation. I wasn't that bothered by his cruelty but more disturbed by her utter submissiveness even against her own best interest. I just couldn't reconcile such a strong woman giving in so completely to a man she barely knew. Again, something must have been lost in translation.
