Yes, the story is the experience of the time travel, and I suppose that’s because we see everything from Dick’s point of view. He finds his own life unsatisfactory and so we do too. We share his addiction to the unfolding story, and are impatient to find out what happens next.

Du Maurier has left it to us to think about the ongoing effects of Dick’s actions and behaviour or not, as we choose. The ball would definitely in Vita’s court on whether their relationship had any sort of future or not.

ETA Sorry, this crossed with your post Darryl.
