Autumn Leaves Burning Part III

[beatrice4ruth]

Great suspense! Harry and Ruth are so well matched emotionally and intellectually. I love how for a whole year Harry planned his escape with Ruth and how he got Malcolm and Catherine involved. The portrayal of the two is so true, the shy Malcolm and the chip off the old block Catherine.

Once again, Ruth is underestimated by men in high position. As she said to Professor Curtis, it will not be the first time nor the last time. Luckily she is not alone; she has the support of Dimitri and a great neighbor to fool her watchers. I like how you portray the surveillance of Ruth from the point of view of her observers.

Your compelling story describes so well the agony of Harry, so worried about the success of his plan and so desperate for Ruth to join him. They have to meet, it just can't go wrong.
