No7. The House by the Sea

A married couple, Carl and Linda Anderson, buy a  house by the sea to spend their weekends. But one weekend Linda dose not arrive at the house and Carl begins to worry. (from back cover)

I read a book, 'The House by the Sea'. It is a very interesting story for me. The main characters are Carl and Linda. They are married couple and spend a happy life at first. They buy the house by the sea, so they spend their weekends. He is a businessman, so he has to do a lot of work. Therefor he can't go home early. On the other hand, She wants to stay with him more, so she talks him that she wants him to be with her more. However he can't say 'Yes' because of his many works. She feels lonly and sad. One day, she dose not arrive at the house and he begins to worry. After that, some happening occurs. I understand not only Linda's feeling but also Carl's one.
