oh come on Ruth Lang

Ruth Lang is the former British prime minister's wife. Must she look like a homeless bum? Unbelievably bad grooming, bad hair, bad clothes, bad demeanor, absolutely without makeup, disgusting eyebags, looked like she just got up from bed, never showered, never shampooed her hair, never brushed her teeth, never washed her clothes, just hanging around panhandling. What's up with that? Was that intentional? Because everybody else around her was perfectly groomed, wearing makeup, wearing classy clothes, looking professional and sophisticated. Look how she even sitting on a sofa in a meeting, like a ghetto-trash. I wouldn't imagine how a person will hug and kiss "that" like a the way Adam Lang did on arrival by plane. I wouldn't imagine how a person will agree to have sex with "that" like the way the Ghost Writer did, even share a bed with "that", without getting crabs/std.

Her charactere seems to have been written poorly. What type of young woman would go undercover for the CIA?
A self hater? She had agreed to live a lie but for what purpose? I think she may have had a sexual identity issue.

I think you are supposed to see that it took a toll on her. Living her ambitions through her h husband to keep her cover. Look how she was more put together at the book event at the end. She finally was the center of attention and not her husband.

O, PLEASE ~ She's in exile in Winter on a foreign island in windy, wet, atrocious weather. And she's knows her husband's cheating on her. And she's depressed about how things are turning politically as well. What do you want ~ that she have an entourage of beauticians in tow making her gorgeous each morning??? To what end?
