“I did not understand why Alfrida looked at him with such a fiercely encouraging smile. All of my experience of a woman with men, of a woman listening to her man, hoping and hoping that he will establish himself as somebody she can be reasonably proud of, was in the future.”

I couldn’t follow each story due to their abrupt endings. Hard to tell when one ended and another began. Maybe better to read than listen.
