Many, many years ago, I read a short story (I think it was a story and not a novel; I could be wrong) about two sisters. One of them was married to a terrible man who was either injured or ill, and the other managed to let him die on her watch so she could free her sister of his tyranny. His widow, however, wasn’t at all grateful, saying that he might not have been the ideal man but he was her husband and she loved him.
Does anyone else recognize this story and know the title/author?
It sounds familiar, but I can’t place it. deMaupassant, perhaps?
Actually it sounds like my family
I dont read, but that storyline was used on “Lost”, except it was the wife’s daughter who killed the man. I told you you should watch that show.
Doesn’t sound familiar at all, but if you find it let us know because it sounds interesting!
