This was a very well-written, angsty book (albeit with some humor), not at all what I was expecting when I read the blurb. Much messier than I think an American version would have been. I wish the author had shown a few flashback scenes of when Fay and Magnus met and got married, so I would have understood better their undying love for each other. And despite (or because of) Gillard's accurate, heart-wrenching portrayal of Magnus' PTSD, I wasn't sure there was any guarantee he and Fay could make their marriage work a second time even if they desperately wanted to.
