"We heard the plane come over at noon, roaring through the radio news, and we were sure it was going to hit the house, so we all ran out into the yard."
The ending hit me like a plane. I have never been so blind sided by a book in my life. For the record, I hardly ever finish any stories, but still. The plot, the attention to detail of the handsome pilot, it all pointed toward him being the husband. I think the structure always favors the protagonist through attention to detail of the events they're involved in and the length of time the author takes to describe them. In this case, everything pointed toward the pilot being the good guy! It all fit together perfectly: the maid feels lonely, but then she spots a popular young lad who instantly sweeps her off her feet then carries her off into the sunset. Has this author ever heard of disney? You can't just alter Cinderella like that! We even had the seemingly ugly step sister that was jealous of Edie, but who was actually an honest fiance. But then BAM! turn of events and sir pilot was never seen again, and oh Edie meets her husband who is just a normal mailman. Talk about a let down. The pilot gets three fourths of sthe story and he doesn't even win in the end. Men these days.
