Cuilin @Ruthiella why do I think we will not get a happy ending? 12mo
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @Ruthiella I‘m wondering the same 😢 12mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin yep, it's not looking great for Ruth, is it? 12mo
willaful Ugh. I feel very sorry for Ruth and I know she's a product of her times, but as a mom, her conversation with Leonard made me want to scream. The worst way she could possibly have broken the news! Crying all over your kid and wishing you could die, so traumatic for him.

And the hypocrisy of Bradshaw! “Means to an end“ is fine when *he* does it! 🤬

dabbe Patriarchy is MALARKEY!!! #bradshawsuckspondwater 😤 12mo
mcctrish @Cuilin YES! Can we throw Bellingshit under the bus ?! He groomed a child to be his lover 12mo
mcctrish @dabbe 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 12mo
currentlyreadinginCO @willaful cringed at Ruth's telling to her son, too ? - sad that she's this traumatized from the "sin" and now exposure. Certain people will definitely still ostracize a young pregnant girl with no means of support but at least we've progressed slightly from the Victorian era with the darkness of this shame.... 12mo
Bookwormjillk Ugh these long frustrating chapters 12mo
willaful @Bookwormjillk yeah, with no doubt more misery to come. 😣 12mo
Aimeesue @willaful Right? So sad. And traumatic! 12mo
