In response to Keith's:
"Love in particular seems to be often ignored in GR, but aren't there
instances where it attempts to rear its head?"

"So far Roger and Jessica fit the bill. Does anyone find it insincere
or in other ways questionable?"
Yes, in addition to consideration of Jessica's other romantic interest,
Beaver, both of her relationships are built upon opportunism. With all
the chaos of wartime London, these three have two of many uneasy, but
convenient, coalitions. The togetherness of either linking will not
last past the war, when everyone goes back to their mundane post-war
lives. Oh, perhaps, during the reconstruction and relief of victory
(which at this point is far from assured) the bonds may continue for a
while, but Jessica will not fall for a statistician or whatever Beaver
is other than a battery mate (she isn't too attached to him now). Love
is sometimes something that passes the time.
