I did not finish reading The Gate House. It is sickeningly, dreadfully thick. It took me a lot of courage and will to read it. Unfortunately, I stopped after reading 150 pages. I was terribly bored and could not believe a guy with a seemingly normal mental health could babble on and on, about his ex-wife who was having sex with someone else, someone he knew.
If you have read the book this far and take some time translating some of its dreary languages, you are my heroine.
Let me tell you a fun book: Shameless by Karen Robards.
The story was about a lady who had bad reputation for chickening out at her wedding days and she did it twice. The background was set at eighteenth century. And if a lady failed to show up on her wedding, it was considered a scandal, because she had brought humiliation to both families. That was why the book was titled “shameless”. Of course, a woman can do anything today, even walking bare-breasted on the street, no big deal.
Anyway, the story started on her third wedding and she wanted to pull off the stunt again! But this time, not that easy. Her would-be hu*****and, when was told her intention to break up, was so furious that he was trying to rape her in an attempt to make sure the wedding would go on as scheduled. Thus, this couple were wrestling in a ball room with no one else present, one bent on raping, the other determined to protect virginity, when one cold-blooded, but handsome assassin was hiding behind the curtain, accidentally witnessing the whole scene.... Of course, staring at a woman’s breasts surreptitiously was not what the assassin was there for, but when he saw a half-naked woman fighting against a man, he changed his mind, and one thing led to another, he started helping her.... Interested now? Go get the book.
