AnnR The first chapter was unexpectedly lovely. I'm so glad there was no drama. 8mo

Bookwormjillk Short and lovely! Just what the doctor ordered after Vanity Fair! 8mo

julieclair Please add me to the tag list. Thanks! 8mo

Daisey I enjoyed listening to the first chapter on my way to work this morning. Also appreciated the tag as I couldn‘t remember if I officially signed up for this one or not. 8mo

julieclair The two halves of Chandrapore sound very different. Beautifully done descriptive writing. If all the chapters are this short, I should have no trouble keeping up! 😆 8mo

Cuilin I have the same copy!! 8mo

mcctrish @julieclair I agree on all counts. School starts on Tuesday and I‘m in a panic over how many chapter a days I‘ve thrown my name in for 🤦🏻‍♀️ how the heck did it become September so fast 😆 8mo

julieclair @mcctrish I'm in the same boat with chapter a days. But they are all so much fun! 8mo

Bklover @julieclair I agree! One half sounds awful! 8mo

eeclayton I think I'll sit this one out after all. I'm quite overwhelmed with work and haven't even finished Vanity Fair. I'll rejoin you in October, but until then can you remove me from the tag list, please? @BarkingMadRead 8mo

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I got you! We will see you in October! 8mo

eeclayton @BarkingMadRead Thank you ☺️ 8mo

mcctrish I am thanking the goddess for Becky, I‘m sure Amelia is lovely but that letter re.graduation 🤢 from finishing school 🙄#teambecky 9mo

Cuilin I‘m holding out a little on Becky. I mean throwing a book away. However I like her sass 💁‍♀️ 9mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin 🤣🤣 I mean, it was a dictionary 🤷🏻‍♀️ 9mo

dabbe I hope that every time I see Amelia's name, I'm not going to think “Bedelia“ in the back of my mind. She seems too Pollyanna-ish to me. I laughed out loud at the audacity of Becky tossing the dictionary out the window! 📕 9mo

julieclair Becky is going to be quite entertaining! 9mo

Bookwormjillk Lol #Teambecky here too. 666 pages 🤣 9mo

willaful Chapter one makes me wonder if Frances Hodgson Burnett was inspired a bit by this. The sister schoolmistresses are very similar to those in A Little Princess. Also some name similarity, though the characters are very different!

Little Princess

9mo

Bklover @willaful I see what you mean. Now I‘m going to drag out The Little Princess. 😉 9mo

Bklover I‘m already getting attached to Becky. I was feeling sorry for her until the departure scene, when I realized she can quite take care of herself. I did feel a bit sorry for Jemima, though, as she risked her sister‘s wrath to sneak Becky a dictionary! 9mo

Bklover @dabbe I do love Amelia Bedelia! Remember when she was camping and they told her to go pitch the tent and she threw it over a cliff?! 😂🤣 9mo

Bklover I think I‘m a chapter behind already- didn‘t realize we were doing two a day! Will go catch up right now. 9mo

eeclayton I'm with @Cuilin on this one. Becky will definitely be an interesting and entertaining character to watch, but whether she's likeable, we'll see. 9mo

SamAnne Oh I want to join! 9mo

Cuilin @willaful I thought this. I kept seeing Maureen Lippman and Miriam Margoyles as they played the sisters in the tv adaptation of The Little Princess. 9mo

BarkingMadRead @SamAnne I will add you! @Bklover yes, two chapters a day so we will finish this month! 9mo

Cuilin @eeclayton keeping an 👁️ on Becky. #havemydoubts 9mo

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I think she will keep things interesting!! 9mo

JamieArc I was “meh” after 25 pages and lots of footnotes but then she threw the dictionary and I was like “Okay, I see you. I can get with this.” 😂 9mo

BarkingMadRead @JamieArc I feel that in my soul 9mo

Agnes Grey: Large Print | Anne Anne Bront�

Morr_Books I do feel a bit less disturbed by this family, but I am getting the feeling like Agnes isn't happy here either. Thoughts? 13mo

TheBookHippie @Morr_Books I had the same thoughts… 13mo

See All 15 Comments

Bookwormjillk Agnes is quiet quitting these kids. They‘re not treating her like she thinks they should so she‘s doing the bare minimum. 13mo

Ruthiella @Morr_Books @TheBookHippie Same. Not as overly sadistic as the first family, but still quite selfish and dismissive. 13mo

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk yes exactly!!! 13mo

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella Agree. Seeing her as less than.. 13mo

willaful I'm finding myself a bit dissatisfied with Agnes. There doesn't seem to be a lot to her. 13mo

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I totally agree! @willaful she definitely needs to grow a personality 13mo

mcctrish Her arrival after that arduous journey was a complete non-event! And I totally agree @Bookwormjillk quiet quitting! 13mo

julieclair @willaful I agree. I really want to like her and be supportive of her, but she keeps disappointing me. 13mo

Clare-Dragonfly I think she‘s doing what she can, which isn‘t much… but she also never advocates for her own needs whatsoever, and then resents that they ignore her needs, which is annoying. 13mo

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly it's not so much her (unsurprising) passiveness, but the feeling that she's very bland, nothing there but virtuousness. However, the next chapter has some actual dialogue between her and one of her charges and I feel she's come more alive. I hope it continues. 13mo

dabbe Yet the older daughter comes to like/accept/put up with her. There must be something to Agnes, right? Right? (edited) 13mo

AnnR I think Agnes is consistent and maybe a good listener, even if her personality isn't terribly exciting. The parents probably aren't terribly interested in listening to their children's chit-chat. 13mo
