and the second best bed has been mentioned!

"have you not always said you will have two children?"

subtle foreshadowing.

WHAT THE FREAK WHAT THE FREAK WHAT THE FREAK WHAT THE FREAK WHAT THE FREAK

love but also the sheer amount of animal imagery linked to agnes is legit sending me into val plumwood space

okay. thoughts:
-cool that agnes is such a special individual with a beautiful link to nature. uncool that it plays into #hyperseparation and persistently associates women with the natural world.
-extremely intrigued by how both agnes and william have childhood trauma and are bonded by that
-obsessed with how the narrative jumps between time

"oh wow i wonder what's going on here! oh wait never mind."

second most awkardly introduced sex scene ever (with the first being the beach moment from brooklyn).

her writing style is so insanely interesting; that weird twist between second and third person!!! the fact that most characters have gone unnamed so far but are so obviously certain people!!! argh! my irish faves i am reading this before i watch you in cinemas!
