The silent wife
This novel tells a story that a woman named Brett had a car crush with a man, Todd; it sounds bad to have a car accident, yet however, it's this car accident that brought them together. After that little car accident, Todd found himself rude, so he asked Brett out for dinner. Then they gradually began their love.
What amazes me is that the depict of scenes the author gives always brings me into the novel's world. When he writes about the ladder or the outside of the buildings and people's portrait, we can always see the real one. For example, It was a Gothic Revival eyesore of decaying brick, flaking paint, and narrow windows, with spiky gables that gave it a menacing upward thrust- a vulgar aberration on a street lined with square-built structures that were fully restored.
I think the story of Todd and Brett does exist in our world. As a Chinese proverb goes, 不打不相識, sometimes we may have a fight with others. However, that fight or quarrel is not necessarily a bad thing. I just think that everything is meaningful, and sometimes it's just a fate. One of my friends broke up with his girlfriend. However, because of his girlfriend, he met with his old friend that he hadn't contacted for over ten years. Thus, we can also state that every love exists in our life because it is meaningful. It may not be a good ending but it will definitely bring something to us. As of the two people in this novel, I wonder how's their love will go.
This seems to tell that every one of us exists for a reason, or, everything, good or bad, happens for a reason. Well, that's a bit philosophical, but also practical and helpful for us to face the reality with calmness and courage, especially when you feel bad.
