I have just gotten done with the preface and WOW I can jus tell this is gonna be a hell of a book I’ll tell you that. It’s incredible the way she speaks and although I feel like I need to process and disgest more I can already appreciate the many valuable lessons and good introspective quotes I’ve gathered from these few pages. This is my new intro to feminist literature and I adore it.

I just got done with th first chapter and WOW, this authors writing style is masterful and extremely alluring, it really helps you get into the head of the main character which btw is giving me mayor Gone Girl vibes. I can already tell this is an interesting read, it’s short though we only found out about some family background the fact that she’s a mother and her tone.

I really liked chapter 4 because we finally get to see Jane standing up for herself. Abdul also exited for her to go to school and her friendship with Bessy was quite pleasant. I hated the pastor guy from the school.

This chapter (3) gives us a little hope, of Jane going to school and getting better, but who knows, we also find out about Jane’s family like her clergyman father and her reed mother and the author starts introducing themes of womanhood in the setting of the book and selfhood and identity, themes I didn’t expect for her to introduce to fast and so well. All though a lense of childhood innocence.

Chapter 2 was still very slow at this part of the story the author is focusing on minor details and developing the readers empathy and background for Jane, I truly feel bad for her, it sounds like a terrible situation to be in, it creates in me a great sense of justice. I still have a few questions and most of all I’m confused .

Im on chapter 1 and its quite disturbing. The first few pages are brutal, very gruesome in such a delicate manner, Charlotte’s prose is perfect for this type of story, rn I have more questions than answers. We will see
