The women in this story are allowed no freedom; they are totally under the control of their husbands. It’s awful to even hear about such lives.

What a surprise! This ordinary-looking book is beautifully written, full of lovely vocabulary. The profanity is appropriate for the characters, which caused it to be banned in some schools.

I love finding the source of the book title in the narrative.

New high - or low - in Georgie’s naïveté.

Kit’s marriage went wrong, but the details are slowly revealed in flashbacks and memory. Excellent, smooth use of this technique.

I’m afraid Rose will marry the wrong man, unless he truly changes and finds purpose.

I like Emma, dealing w adversity and maintaining hope in spite of the typical mean uncle trying to withhold her inheritance .

I like Georgie!

I wanted to re-read this classic before I read Rose in Bloom.

I almost DNF this one; full of foreboding in parts. Still, Lucy is so interesting that I persevered.

Eight years later, and I still remember some parts of the story. A good re-read.
