The Woman in the Window
A. J. Finn
Contributed by Eleanor Sherer
Chapter 54
Summary

The author still leaves the audience in suspense when he fails to continue with the narration of the accident. Instead, he highlights the awkward relationship between Anna and her tenant. David visits Anna and is apologetic for overreacting when he found her snooping in his room. He also tells Anna that he had been jailed for assault as they drink merlot together. He admits that he is hot-tempered, a trait that had made him get imprisoned after a fight in a bar. David offers to fix Anna’s ceiling that was leaking. As David goes to the bathroom, Anna contemplates telling David about Jane and the Russell house incident. In this instance, the author shows the audience that Anna has short-term memory loss because she had forgotten that she had already enquired about Jane. Conversely, she sticks to the subject of getting her ceiling fixed. The sexual tension between  Anna and David is also highlighted by the author. As David escorts her to assess the damage on the ceiling, he kisses her.
