Burkhilly,
Apologies if my earlier post was unnecessarily mean-spirited. I just am surprised by the negative reviews and reception here as compared to other places, especially since I enjoyed the book so much.
Julia was passing as, and known as, a woman in her early 50's. I think she looked anywhere from 55-70. I don't find this inconceivable at all.

Wallace was mainly described, even by those who liked him as stoic, sensible, mild-mannered etc. The flip side of that coin would be bitter, passive aggressive, soured etc. But the picture of him is quite consistent I think.
