"As much as I feel for young Fyodor Ivanych Lavretsky and was heartbroken after the devastating way her mother was treated and met her end, something is preventing me from being invested in these people as much as I would like for that to have happened by now. (Except for Theodor Lemm.) I hope this will change in the rest of the book.It probably will." — Jul 17, 2026 08:42AM

“Security. Was it just a word? If not, then was it only by the sacrifice of other things, happiness, love, or some wild ecstasy that she had never known, that it could be obtained? And did too much driving, too much faith in safety and permanence, unfit one for these other things?
Irene didn't know, couldn't decide, though for a long time she sat questioning and trying to understand. Yet all the while, in spite of her searchings and feelings of frustration, she was aware that, to her, security was the most important and desired thing in life. Not for any of the others, or for all of them, would she exchange it. She wanted only to be tranquil. Only, unmolested, to be allowed to direct for their own best good the lives of her sons and her husband.”
