] ] Do you think Roland and Maud can actually be a couple? When he's at her flat with nothing to do after they've returned from Brittnay I understand her not being able to think. I never can think when there's somone I know wants my attention no matter how much s/he insists s/he wants to leave me alone. Must it always be a choice between love and self?

] I think they'll stay together because they'll be apart. They are not going to be a live together for ever conventional couple - and I think, given their characters, that this will suit them will. They will have, most of the time, the silence and pristiness of the "clean white sheets" but they will also have each other, not too far away. I like the fact that Byatt doesn't need to resolve them into a perfect conventional couple.
