This story is a sad tale of a woman being forced to marry a man she didn't really know. The man takes off right after the wedding for India to work for the East India Company. He returns home to find a rigid woman and nothing he does pleases her. My heart aches for Eleanor, because she is left alone in an empty house and a father-in-law who visits. Miles, not only comes home, but brings an Indian friend with him disturbing not only the welcome home party for him, but he goes straight to his room and doesn't engage the party. I find Miles totally arrogant and should be kicked between his legs for the way he treated Eleanor for the first two years of their marriage. Eventually, circumstance lead the two together, but it still does not make up for his behavior, and Miles makes no apology for it either.
