Ruthiella Yeah, he does lean into Marian‘s unattractiveness a bit too much for the modern reader. But Marian is awesome. I love her. (edited) 3w

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella she is awesome. I hope he‘s not really going to leave. 3w
ElizaMarie He can‘t leave yet! I won‘t. I‘m sure of it. 3w
Clare-Dragonfly I find Miss Halcombe funny but annoying. Stop hating on your own gender, lady!!! With the whole “these two women are identical” thing, I‘m wondering if there will be (or already was) a twin switch… 🤔 And that letter is definitely from Mrs. Catherick, calling it now. 3w
mcctrish @Ruthiella that paragraph almost made me spit out my drink as he rhapsodized on about her perfection and then hard stop on “oh crap she‘s ugly AF” and @Clare-Dragonfly I am not at all happy with her constant woman trashing 👎🏻👎🏻 3w
mcctrish @ElizaMarie he has to stay 3w
dabbe Marian outmans all men and women so far. She has no patience for what is expected in 19th-century women and for women who act out their submissive roles. Wonder how she'd get along with Sarah, Walter's sister? 🤔 3w
Bklover @dabbe I love Marian too! I can‘t even picture her and Sarah in the same room, although it might be entertaining! 3w
BarbaraJean @mcctrish I wonder how serious her woman-trashing is; whether there‘s a level of sarcasm to it. I‘m with @dabbe —I think she has no patience for societal expectations of women, and I read a bit of irony into the woman-trashing comments! 3w
Ruthiella @BarbaraJean I think she‘s definitely wielding some sarcasm there. 3w
Bookwormjillk I feel like there‘s so much an author can say about a character just by naming him Sir Percival Glyde 3w
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk sounds like a complete wanker 3w
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish exactly and that stands the test of time 3w
mcctrish I‘ve woken up and I‘m still thinking about the uncle and I don‘t know whether to laugh or scream at his theatrics #mynerves they are quite the role reversal household 3w
dabbe @Bklover 🤣🤩🤣 3w
dabbe @BarbaraJean 🎯🎯🎯! 3w
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish the uncle sounds like what I want to say sometimes listening to my husband chew at dinner. 3w
Leftcoastzen The uncle ! What a handful of drama he is ! Marian is something, I do think often she is being sarcastic with the women bashing thing as she seems highly capable. I love the writing so far ! 3w
julieclair @BarbaraJean @dabbe I didn‘t catch the sarcasm when reading it, but now that you suggest it, I totally see it!! 🎯 3w
dabbe @julieclair 🤩🤗🤩 3w
rubyslippersreads @julieclair @BarbaraJean @dabbe I think it must be sarcasm; I can‘t see Miss Halcombe being that self deprecating. 2w
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk The uncle‘s #poornerves make me think of Mrs. Bennet. #mypoornerves 2w
julieclair @rubyslippersreads Yes about Mrs. Bennet! Although I think he‘s even worse. 😬 2w
Bookwormjillk I finally read yesterday‘s chapters. #NoOneWouldLeaveMeAlone #MyPoorNerves So much going on! The Count- so evil! 2w

There is literally no more evidence for her own theories than this one. This entire book is conjecture, and it‘s getting tiring.

GingerAntics @TrishB I‘m not sure I can even call this scholarship. She‘s taken the sparse evidence that exists and claims it proves her theory, but it doesn‘t prove anyone‘s theory because it‘s like 50 pieces of a 500 piece puzzle. You can‘t even tell what it‘s a puzzle of. 4y
TrishB There‘s a very blurred line between her fiction and non fiction and so people just accept it all as fact 🤷‍♀️ 4y
GingerAntics @TrishB that is the perfect way to put it…that‘s what drives me absolutely NUTS about historical fiction and even fiction based in historical periods. People seem to forget that it‘s FICTION!!! 4y
