Query: This book should have been titled, Something Horrible

Why is it that every time I read a book involving a shy, innocent heroine she always seems subject to the most horrific abuse? I have some news for people out there who aren't aware...Shy women *are* intellegent and they *do* have pride.Even if I do suspend my disbelief or try to think that this book was merely a flight of fancy, it doesn't change the facts. Alexandra is belittled, smothered, and controlled by a husband who seems to have all the earmarks of a sociopath.I realize that most books of this time period are hardly going to be feminist statements. Nor, for the sake of at least *some* realism would I want them to be. Unfortunately, the cruelty seems to be a bit on the extreme side here. The book would have been far more interesting to me if Alexandra had left Jordan, and taken some self-esteem with her. Sometimes love just isn't enough.
