Crying already

Re reading this after many years.

Ohh wow

Recomiéndenme un libro que me de felicidad por que yo nunca había experimentado tanto odio con un personaje.

Goddd Edith Wharton knows how to write a complicated feminist character.

The real paradox is the fact that men who make , materially, the biggest sacrifices for their women, should do least for them ideally and romantically.

Plot after plot after plot. I can write 10 others books 🤣 idk if I like it

You can tell she wrote this book using “simple” vocabulary because she truly wants everyone to have access to the ideas and information she wants to spread. Love it so far ,quick paced and very direct.

This book was in my tbr for a while and I didn’t expect this . The monk inner dialogue is too funny

Women In the male fields

Nothing matters

My friend Leonard is using the word “Negro” a little too many times for a novel that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Chapter 19 is saving this whole novel. I can tell this is Charlotte Brontë’s first book, and it is very interesting to see how she was trying to develop a good plot with a Gothic storyline while giving some deep understanding to her characters. She fails here, but eventually she masters it with Villette and Jane Eyre.

But what were you doing on the fifth of April 1868, or the second of November 1875, she would look vague and say that she could remember nothing. For all the dinners are cooked; the plates and cups washed; the children sent to school and gone out into the world.
Nothing remains of it all. All has vanished. No biography or history has a word to say about it.

I’m so surprised this novel was published after Jane Eyre and before Villette because it feels so different in terms of style, writing, and themes. I could easily imagine it being written by a completely different author. I loved the novel, but if you’re in love with the Gothic side of Charlotte Brontë’s writing, this one may not be for you.

Why shirley and not Caroline ? Will seeee

I love a big juicy book during vacation. Good history and little romance . Very good so far , still trying to figured why Shirley as a tittle

This book is breaking me apart. I never cry so much before
