Hi Gabe
As I did not send the review of the Tailor's Daughter to Goanet intentionally, 
I wonder, with tongue and cheek, if it was inappropriate for Goanet 
moderators to 'appropriate' it for Goanet?

Secondly, I have been unable to obtain your explanation as to how Eliza ought 
to have confronted Jorge. I can't enter into the site you indicated. So, please 
can you indicate in your own words what Eliza ought to have done?
Just intrigued!
Regards
Cornel

RESPONSE:

Here are the words:-

Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps
Cake

You won't admit you love me
And so, how am I ever to know
You only tell me
Perhaps perhaps perhaps
A million times I ask you, and then
I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps perhaps perhaps

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't want to wind up
Being parted, broken hearted
So if you really love me, say yes
But if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps perhaps perhaps

I feel it would have been better had she confronted Jorge as above
rather than giving herself with gay abandon:-

Those days a stigma was attached, nowadays everything goes.

 Power and intrigue in personal relations in Goa

 A review of Ben Antao's The Tailor's Daughter by Cornel DaCosta




 Eliza is quickly besotted with Jorge and sees him as a potential husband to
 be taken by her and her family to Nairobi, Kenya, to a new life there. In
 turn, Jorge appears to be fascinated by Eliza and there is a hint, even if
 given fleetingly, that a marriage on his part to Eliza is a consideration.


Comment: Instead of giving herself to Jorge, she should have
confronted him thus:-
