I think Feagan may have been a teacher in an earlier life. Looking back on that time, I am often astonished to realize that a bit of cloth held such value. I learned many of my letters from this tedious task because the intricate swirls fascinated me, and I’d always ask Feagan what they meant before I began working to erase all evidence they’d ever existed. I was the one who carefully removed from the silk the thread that formed the monograms. The one who sat on his lap and helped him count the handkerchiefs and coins that the others brought in. His hair was as bright a red and as uncontrollable as mine. Sometimes I imagined he was my true father. I cannot remember a time when Feagan was not in my life. ![]() I lived in a single room with Feagan and his notorious band of children who were known for their thieving ways. To him, I was always “Frannie darling.” “Frannie darling, fetch me gin.” “Frannie darling, rub me aching feet.” “Frannie darling, let me tell you a story.”Īnd so it was that when anyone asked me my name, I would say it was Frannie Darling. ![]() My earliest memory is of Feagan saying, with his heavy cockney accent, “Frannie darling, come sit on me lap.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Recording Engineer, Sound Designer, Mixer: Mark Holden for The Invisible Studios, West Hollywood.

That somehow, the spouse believing in them and their marriage, is neglecting them with their faith. The cheaters actually are angry at times with their spouses for being so boring and for now realizing what is happening. There is little to no connection to the characters and if anything, these appear to be essays to support the growing belief that infidelity is a natural state and that being faithful in a relationship is the what is wrong. The problem is that it is overall a novel of the emotional toll taken on relationships when an affair happens, only the writing is very cold and uninviting. The stories are told from both the side of the spouse who is being cheated on and the cheater themselves. ".There is nothing more soporific than a faithful husband, especially when he is yours."
