OK...
1) Did you like this book?
2) How would you have responded to Corelli in the last chapter? I would have been just like Pelagia -except (hopefully) much more skilled in the art of yielding a cast iron frying pan. The man did deserve a good wack.
3) Did Corelli and Pelagia waste their lives alone? Should they have found love in someone else or would it have been "second best" is there such thing as a love so true, you would be unable to "recover" from it's untimely "end"?

1) i liked the book. not really until 150 pages into it though. i dont know why it took me so long to get invested in each character. probably because it switched between so many of them from so early. but once i was into it, it was all i could read. AND - i cried for the last 200 pages. forreal. boyfriend thought i was messed up, im sure. he recommended that i only read books about happy things for a while. and i was all snotty and bleary saying stupid stuff like "it IS happy.."
2) i would have killed him. or tried. i mean, really? what a selfish, selfish, selfish man. and i was REALLY taken aback when he said "it would have changed things" had she been with another man. even rape. what a soft-cored man, corelli. i thought you were forged harder than that, but i guess not.
3)pelagia did not waste her life alone, because she set into motion a whole chain of events that resulted in emotional and physical wealth. she built a family. she was rather hollow feeling at times though, im sure. corelli - sounds like he wasted his life boozing with other women while pelagia pined...but he found his music and in the end he found her. so i guess he had his cake and ate it too. but still. selfish slacker.
