I was a bit struck by the lack of sexual detail. eventually I realised it was probably to keep the more restricted flavor typical of oriental cultures. You will probably get panned on a vote system, especially around here.
you might have drawn out some of the sequences where you were involved to a more American voyeur and left her reactions as written. The contrast would have been interesting.
I started to read this and almost put it down. The lack of detailed sex scenes and the highly formalized writing would have been easy to turn away from, until I became engrossed in the love story. As I did my graduate work in Cambridge I recognized much of what you talked about, as well as the cultural meetings/clashes that occur in the atmosphere of academe. You did a great job.
Your story depicted such a lifelike progression of the relationship that it didn't need much sexual detail. Although, a little enhancement would not have hurt the overall flow of things. A chapter 2 would be nice, explaining the happy reunion, in detail. Great story! Keep on writing.
i would have given 5 stars if i could and hope you consider writing another chapter.
Wow It's rare such a great love story in such a mixed up world. Sweet
Please, do not stop submitting great stories like this one! I've read many, many submissions to this really great site. Yours is, by far, the ABSOLUTE best that I have read! I don't know if this is a true experience or not, but it doesn't matter. A TRULY beautiful, sensual submission. Thank you! I challenge you to top this submission!
You can see c1992w this is an easier category than Loving Wives. The errors in your writing is forgiven. I am glad for you. The comments are much nicer. Maybe later you
will allow ratings again. We will give you more stars then you won't feel so bad.
Love you, mom.

One would never think of of ratiing this less than a 5 more like a 10 would be more truthful.
Couldn't have had a better ending to a story with fire between the main characters.
I was concerned that you were going to leave our hero swinging in the wind
we know he lost his heart in the divorce, did she lose hers when the relationship with her ex ended?
Some people just don't get it. A tale well told.
Such a lovely story. It's damn near the perfect short story. The only way it could be better in my humble opinion would have been to include him proposing and her accepting. Although a short epilogue of how their lives turned out would be the perfect end to the story.
An enjoyable story. I can understand it is an acceptable conclusion, but I wished the story continued on further after her return to Boston before ending.
