Behind the High Walls

I started reading the story in the evening and here I am at 5 am. That was very engaging story, full of twist with a good solid plot. I am dissapointed though, that Loukas chose to remain a wife. I don't understand his decision, because it wasn't the life he wanted(hell, is there anybody who would want that kind of life?)and he wasn't in love with his husband. It is actually sad, because IMO he did it out of twisted sense of duty/gratitude; it felt for me like he just gave up.
