Why we recommend it
Vows made with no virtue behind them and two people who know it. Smith writes the dark forced marriage with explicit moral ambiguity — the virtue in the title is ironic, the vows are a transaction, and what they become is built on a deliberately flawed foundation that the story refuses to pretend away.
