I guess the reason why I focussed more on Angie is because she is clearly the main character whereas he is an important secondary character.<br /><br />My ex was African so I too have some experience in multicultural relationships.

Although I didn't necessarily agree with Angie's decisions, it's interesting that it's she, and not the other person, who seems to receive our "blame". I was personally quite fascinated by the fact that this relationship is scarcely questioned by the townsfolk, and how they assumed that things were already in full swing (ahem) even before they were.Stephanie @ Read In a Single Sittinghttp://www.readinasinglesitting.comnoreply@blogger.com
