"I don’t like Eliza very much, I don’t understand how they ended up in chains either, but I’m intrigued and would like to read more on the original letters from India of Eliza fay, I found it a little difficult to comprehend though, so I think it’d be best if I reread at some point after finishing the prose and possibly alongside with her writings, maybe I’ll be able to understand her better too?" — Sep 10, 2026 12:22AM

"Shes gone from living in the lap of luxury to poverty—literally 2 poles. Jose is persistent, but resilience can be a good thing. I think her father’s a coward and had a bit of an ego, however, as a result of his stubbornness, his son’s fears were right and he definitely should’ve taken the advice! Jose is admirable in his qualities, still trying to provide, his brothers, not so much. Family name=tarnished" — Aug 15, 2026 02:34AM

"The irony underpinning the novel has set the stage since the first scene. All stereotypes “forced” upon the indigenous family are challenged—completely. But there are so many hidden critiques, remarks i would’ve missed had i not reread as i go. To think this runs as a continuation of the stolen generations, is not a far stretch imo. I love the dynamics so far, the quiet division and outspoken claim to rights." — Aug 15, 2026 02:39AM

“It is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land come broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.”
