The Englishman is an unnamed lover with whom Kay takes up during her yearlong sabbatical in England. A passionate and sensitive man, The Englishman was instrumental in helping Kay make the decision to lower her dosage of lithium, by offering to watch her closely and carefully and take her to the doctor should her levels fluctuate too much. Lowering her dose of lithium was a choice which restored Kay’s understanding of the world’s vitality and renewed her capacity for thinking, seeing, and feeling deeply.
