I can't believe that neither Dawn nor Brian realized that the timeline of Dawn's pregnancy indicated that either man could be her baby's father. Brian threw away Wyatt's letters, thereby robbing her of a choice in one of her "two ways". Brian of all people, being a pragmatist, understood what Dawn had left behind in Egypt, and he knew he was manipulating Dawn's weakened emotional state. Since letters are important here, what about Win's letter? Dawn decides not to deliver it in London, because no good would be served. That letter offers chaos and destruction, whereas Wyatt's letters were a bridge that was destroyed. I think Brian's unethical behavior was glossed over because the outcome of the plot could have hinged on that point alone, and the author wanted to keep the complexity. I don't see Brian as the injured husband, I see Wyatt as the steadfast and forgiving man in this novel.(less)
