"I saw in her pained expression a lifetime of entrapment...And Saffy, whose softness made her weak, whose compassion made her kind, had been unable ever to wrest herself free".

(The Distant Hours by Kate Morton)

I identified strongly with these two extremely well-expressed sentences, unfortunately.  Saffy's situation is probably very common.  Hopefully, my 'entrapment' doesn't show in my face, however!
