This is Anthony‘s first female protagonist in the series and much of the book serves to highlight just how shallowly he writes his women. The book is fine, as with the others, but he definitely seems like the type of male author who spends more time describing the women in his stories than actually characterizing them.

Chapter 7: Lucy decides to travel to Villette to find Madame Beck. She gets there by coach, but it‘s dark when she arrives, her bag is missing, and some losers follow her…. #lucygetslost #whereisthatdarnhotel #findsmadamebeckshouseinstead #fate #meanttobe #sheshouldpeobablylearnfrench #ishouldprobablylearnfrench #gladmyversionistranslated #pemberlittens

IndoorDame I‘m so relieved things fell into place for her this chapter. It all had the ability to go so much worse! 1y
Bklover Omg you crack me up! She definitely needs to learn French! It‘s a wonder she isn‘t dead- she does seem to get lucky right when things look hopeless. I‘m really starting to like her! 1y

Bklover Also, I hate to admit it but I had no idea that Villette was a place. 🙄😳 1y
BarkingMadRead @Bklover me either! I thought it would be a person 🤣 1y
peanutnine @Bklover she is very lucky! What are the odds of her finding Beck her literal first night in town! 1y
BarkingMadRead @peanutnine she finally caught a break! 1y
Bookwormjillk I‘m so glad it worked out! This lady makes me nervous! 1y
Daisey This whole chapter made me nervous as well. There were so many places it could have gone so badly for her! 1y
Clare-Dragonfly I was also nervous! I was SURE that guy was going to steal her money when he took her through the park (he made a point of checking whether she had any!) but nope, whew. I also thought Villette would be a person @Bklover 😆 1y
Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly I did too! 1y
rubyslippersreads Glad I‘m not the only one who thought Villette was a person. 1y
suvata @Bklover You‘re not alone. I thought it was a woman‘s name. D‘uh! 1y
suvata @Daisey It was most definitely a tense chapter. But you know what they say, “All‘s well that ends well”. For now, anyway. 1y
KristiAhlers I must say the Brontë sisters seem pathologically unable to write a chapter that doesn‘t have something bad happening. Their poor heroines 1y

Thomas Ott's wordless graphic novel is a 'strange tale' about an executioner who finds a slip of paper with a long number written on it next to the electric chair he's just used to judicially murder a prisoner. The numbers on the slip start to have a strange significance, and the story proceeds to its predictable, but nonetheless well-told, end.
I've not come across Ott before, and found his art style well suited to his material. 4⭐

Ominous.
So good.
At times it felt a bit chaotic to me, but overall I loved it and concur with the ravishing reviews! Dysfunctional family dynamics, zeitgeist and fate intertwine.

Cute premise. Each chapter begins with a review of a Bollywood movie. But, overall, the plot was a bit lackluster.
