I thought this story would be one of my favorites, but we diverged. It is not a bad story that people should avoid. It has a really clever message, it's well-written, but I don't quite believe that Peter would sit by a woman like that (not really voluntarily, easy now, just broke a bone in his foot) and no one would look, despite the letters? The boy's storyline didn't sit well with me, as showing Pax's new reality is to be believed. Complicated.
