Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: The is really the story of how the narrator came to respect his wife and how he and his wife came together as one as a result of facing opposition together. It’s a beautiful little story with lots of nice touches and a heartwarming ending.
Con: The speculative element is so small that it’s impossible to recommend it as a fantasy story.
