Bernice Rubens' I Sent A Letter to My Love is an odd sort of romance. You know from the beginning of the affair that it isn't going to go well. I think the emotions depicted here feel real -- the frustrated dreams, the weird tension, the growing to love and want and be confident...
The problem with it, for me, is that it's also very uncomfortable. I felt embarrassed for the main character, and just... I didn't like how it could turn out. The end is both final for her and very open for everyone else.
Plus, I know an Amy Evans.
I wondered about Blodwen Pugh. Could just be a coincidence, both are common Welsh names, but one of Rhys Davies' short stories is called Blodwen, and she's the main character, and she has a lover, Pugh... I wonder if that's linked to the sexual freedom aspect of this story.
