![]() WTF? I would've liked to hear how Eileen's relationship with her family was after the wedding, since it was a huge part of the story throughout the book. ![]() How rude the mom was to Jason at the bridal salon.the hell? They were both ungrateful and selfish and it was really unbelievable that someone would work so hard to please people who are that undeserving! For me, it took away from the story that they treated her so poorly for the entire book, with only a weak apology from the sister towards the end and nothing was ever said from the mom. Let's face it, her family were all a bunch of douches!! OMG, I just cannot!!! How could she want the best for someone who was BEYOND awful?!! Like awful ALL the time!! It was hard to listen to Eileen's miserable sister and mother without wanting her to just let them fall on their faces, so to speak. What I didn't care for was Eileen's family. I enjoyed them learning each other and the friendship they established. ![]() Ok, on to the actual story.I really liked Jason and Eileen and I understood how their past hurts made them believe they didn't deserve HEA. ![]()

Here the most absolute spareness and the fearsome conclusion of death clearly refer to the upheavals of the history of his country as well as to the impossibility for photography to record anything other than signs and vague appearances, as illustrated by the last image in the series. La Cible (Mort d’un soldat) – The Target (Death of a Soldier) – belongs to this kind of work consisting of sequences of more or less narrative imagery. In it, facing a wall with a leprous, flaking look about it, he had fun fantasizing about the ‘theatre of his life’, a theatre made up of a removed eroticism, a recollection of the great works of art history, and above all a continual fear of disappearance and death. Jan Saudek was for many years obliged to produce his pictures in a tiny studio which was a cross between a crypt and a nook.
