u/Astronomer-Plastic

In a book in which virtually every character has their distinctive duplicities and eccentricities (and has these analysed in minute exhaustive detail), it's kind of refreshing to have one minor character who's just a nice normal lady who loves her husband and enjoys hanging out with her friends, no dramas, no tensions, no backstabbing, no gossiping. I guess Saint-Loup is pretty normal, and the narrator's family too.
