Gail appeared and ... what about my expectations?
0:16"I am going to leave him because my love for you makes any other life a lie" (98), how cute is that! Honestly they deserve to be together no matter what, Jeanette please. The lines that follow bring me so much joy to read, Christmas time and happy moments with each other ohmy♥
...
Louise suffers from Leukaemia.. and Elgin says he is the one who can take care of her...that her death depends on Narry and I suppose is that it depends on him if he lets her go with Elgin... NO please. Indeed, Elgin would give her the medical needs for her health... I feel bad for her because is as she would have to decide between love and life...
So engaged at this point of the book, Narry is giving the love of his life to Elgin, for her to have good health and cure herself from cancer, because Elgin is able to do that informing Narry of her evolution...
After letting her go he starts talking about his new life in Yorkshire and I feel as if everything that happened disappeared from the story of the book.
And FINALLY this loooong episode finished! A rest for my mind to start a new episode in the book and reconect more easily to it! The end of it made me feel quite weird, the narrator is not able to physically be with Louise, so he ends up studying anatomy to feel her inside ???? It is clear he misses her flesh and hair and voice, but I guess everyone is the same on the indide? Anatomically talking, we all have the same kind of bones and organs and everything. I guess he has to find something that makes him closer to Louise than he physically is... it should be very hard to separate yourself from the love of your life when she is in Louise's health situation!
It is hard to see how he is like narrating a scientific diary for Louise, describing what his body is doing wrong and how the 'foireign body' is hers, and she the one to fight, no-one else to do it for her. However, if he keeps using such scientific terms I will get lost easily, I am very bad at anatomy! He is going very deep in body details and it is like reading an anatomy book but sensually explained.
"That impressive mausoleum, your body" (119).
Is Louise dead already? It seems he is addressing a dead body, someone who passed away, explaining how he feels about the cavities of her body, how he feels to be within all of her cavities and that 'that is how I know you" (120).
"The skin is composed of two main parts..." (123), totally feeling in an anatomy's class at school back to grade 9 wow. Ok and definitely she is dead, "odd to think that the piece of you I know best is already dead" (123) WHY NO, this was too direct ... Poor narrator :(
Kind of lost with all the details and descriptions but witnessing how both, Louise and the narrator, are like one for the narrator, like one body. I feel tired already and I think there's still a lot os descriptions to come...
As I said before, in the part of the 'Skeleton' is reinforcing the idea that they both are the same in the inside, and that is why he feels that she is inside him, both being a unique body, which I actually find cute and creepy at the same time!
One by one the senses, description and how he mises her voice, her smell, her taste and, of course, her sight of her beautiful green eyes.
Oh wait, the story is not finished! Let's see... GAIL MADE ITS APPEARANCE BUT, found out Gail is a girl!? ops. Gail is just another woman that wants to be with the narrator, feels sorry for him and for what he is going through with Louise... not getting over this? Blurred my expectations?
Why Elgin keeps telling the narrator to go away and not see Louise? It is evident that he wants to see his lover (even though he is with Gail, kind of?). Oh no wait, now "I would gladly have stocked the whole house and left it roasting Gail inside" WHAT, it is ok you want to be with Louise but stop those thoughts!
But as always I have to stop in a random page within the same story without chapters haha
I really want to finish and see what happens in the end...poor Louise and the narrator...happy ending please!
