I think perhaps women would hear this story very differently than men. It's a story of trust betrayed, a trust of the truisms that keep women locked in (their) place. The piece was paced nicely and kept me engaged. The dialogue was captivating and I ended up caring greatly about the characters. I found the ending wholly unsatisfying -- which is to say, perfect for this piece. Life doesn't tie all the loose ends up in nice bows. Nice work, Sue.
