 This volume shows a Stephano challenged in his professional and private life. He is at a crossroad and his private life is getting seriously complicated (view spoiler)[ He is falling in love with Sylvio but he still loves his wife (hide spoiler)]. We get to understand crazy Sylvio better. He is a man who desperately needs to belong but can't find anybody to belong with. Donata, Stephano's wife, surprised me with her reaction to the way her husband has been distancing himself from her recently (view spoiler)[ She says she can live with a Cheater but she cannot live with a Coward (hide spoiler)]. I don't know if I should feel sorry for her or not.
