Such a wonderful poignant story. I've always felt that Elizabeth's fascination with pirates and adventure was an escape from the real tragedy of her life. Thank you for writing it so beautifully. I particularly like the way you portray Elizabeth's and her father's relationship--almost like two strangers, cast together upon a desert island, now having to get to know each other.
I also saw Elizabeth as escaping into books, in much the same way I did as a child. A wonderful, fanciful life of adventure to escape the dreary existence of a bleak winter's day.
Her relationship with her father always seemed to me to be a bit distant, not without affection, but not in touch.
Thank you for your comments, I am glad I was able to write a plausible backstory for Elizabeth.
I did a lot of escaping into books, too--although my childhood had very little classic tragedy. I was just introspective and unpopular!
Her relationship with her father always seemed to me to be a bit distant, not without affection, but not in touch. Yes, there did seem to be a lot of misunderstanding between them, with gusts of occasional insight.
I always like to see plausible, sympathetic Elizabeth portrayals.
Thank you. The icon is mine. All of my icons are my own art.
