    Loving someone isn't wrong; the mistake lies in unilaterally trying to possess them. You can love anyone you like, but that's your own business; the other person isn't obligated to reciprocate with equal affection. You can choose to silently protect them, or you can choose to turn away, keeping those feelings hidden in your heart and secretly longing for them. Of course, if the person you love happens to reciprocate your feelings, then your love story is complete… The author's writing is superb; with just a few strokes, the characters come alive, their psychology and the details of their lives expressed accurately and movingly.
