Apparently this book is partly autobiographical, but what stood out for me was the timeless nature of the female characters. That a young, innocent beauty is always going to be out-played by a femme fatale when she sets to mind on acquiring her man, or rather, someone else's man. In a way this made me feel sad. The protagonist basically stuffs up his life because he was seduced by a woman who wanted to add him to her 'stable' and he couldn't resist her. She is likened to a hawk in the book - pitiless and victorious over her prey.
