“‘The Commander of wives and children’, Connie had called her. The words had seemed demeaning to her at the time— exclusion from the real business of conspiring, a reminder that she was, in the end, a woman, and therefore relegated to the work of picking up the pieces.

Ugh Benita and Connie are my dream

Goodness this book reminds me how cruel and gross men are sometimes

It is so cool to see this perspective from this time in Germany. Loving this so far

I am already relating Marianne to me
