“…Louisa slip into the role of matriarch without ever officially being part of it, and instead of refusing or resenting that role, she created something so absolutely beautiful for them to share”. Louisa is a real woman, no real woman would refuse or resent caring for her family. I’m so sick of anti-family values in literature.

Not the email sign off with their “credentials”. Be so serious this lady does not care one of you has a PhD & the other is a lawyer. That alone would having putting the email right in the trash

Here we go again, too cool & too highly educated to work in her hometown.

Nina, I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this, you’re not special. You’re broke & you have a job being handed to you. Accept & say thank you.

“There are so many causal mentions of how Louisa-Lou, as he called her-took care of him & his young niece, as if were simply another part of her job as Fountain’s secretary and not something very outside her scope of work. So much on her shoulders, and no doubt assumed of her because she was a woman”. Yes, that’s what women do! Women are meant to be mothers & caretakers & that’s nothing to be ashamed of

The problem is Nina thinks she’s too good & too highly educated to live in her hometown & work in the special collections room.

Omg girl it was 17 years ago, LET IT GO

Prediction: she will get a job at the library managing the special collections department by the end of the book
