Sidney Stark
A beloved friend, confident publisher, and voice of reason fro Ms. Juliet. On a professional level they work together like peanut butter and jelly but, when it come to their love lives it could never work because, as the reader finds out later in the book, he is homosexual.
Mark Reynolds
Logically this pairing makes perfect sense. But in reality, Mark is too controlling for Juliet. She is an independent woman and not the type that wants to look to her husband every time someone asks her a question. Mr. Reynolds’ true colors showed after being rejected by Juliet when he asked her to marry him. He turned angry, then endearing, and then angry again. Instead of wanting what was best for the woman he supposedly loves, he was just using every persuasion technique in the book.
Dawsey Adams
To Ms. Ashton, this man was a complete stranger only 6 months before she discovered feelings for him. She was confused when Mark unexpectedly arrived in Guernsey. She had wished he would go away so she could finish her moment with Dawsey. She wondered why she did not want to be with someone as rich and gorgeous as Mark Reynolds, yet she wanted to hold hands with a man who was very shy and raised pigs. This was the beginning of Juliet’s fondness for Mr. Adams. With the help of Miss Isola Pribby, Juliet gained the confidence to finally find out if Dawsey had feelings for her. And of course, he did. If the novel went on and on for the rest of Juliet’s life I’m sure Mr. and Mrs. Dawsey Adams would have lived happily ever after.
