Il titolo è ispirato al primo racconto, quasi una citazione a Rebecca, dove però la prima moglie è viva e vegeta e il marito è dichiaratamente un despota inquietante, più che "solo" un uomo in posizione di superiorità che "salva" la fanciulla giovane e inesperta (e non fosse stato per BytheBook non avrei notato che Rebecca sia a sua volta una citazione/rivisitazione di Jane Eyere, ma meno candido e ottimista).
Seguono la storia disturbante di un'adolescente con un corteggiatore troppo insistente, quella di un giovane narcisista e del suo rapporto tossico con i genitori, nei loro classici ruoli di padre-distante e madre-indulgente, e alla fine il "sogno bagnato" di ogni uomo che sogna di vendicare una donzella dai traumi del passato e aiutarla a "guarire" (sì, in quel senso) nel presente.
Si parla di abusi, di malattia mentale sottovalutata, ma soprattutto Shirley cerca di aprirci una finestra sul punto di vista delle "vittime", con le quali spesso fatichiamo a empatizzare: "Perché non è scappata? Perché non ha detto nulla a nessuno? Perché lo ha sposato sapendo com'era?" etc. etc.… (altro)
