I haven't read that book either. What is the story? How long was he gone?
I get that we have to think in terms of years and not months here, but I don't think I could honestly say that I'll sit at home waiting until I'm 80. Maybe it's the "sitting at home waiting thing". That sounds so pathetic - so I hope its a little out of context and she was really out there GALing while staying committed to her marriage vows.
