All Comments on 'The Paul & Jenny Stories Pt. 11'

There is a sensitivity about this story that captures the social upheaveal caused by the Great War and the fear of sexual arousal and behaviour that was the legacy of Victorianism.

The, "play," on the issue of playing the piano and the unrecognised tragedy of the loss of the hand as a vehicle for the re-stablishment of the relationship between Paul and Jenny is a clever literary device leading into the priest's comment recognising the existence of, the tragedy of the death of Jenny's husband and the recognition that this tragedy allows the space for them to explore their supressed passion.
