The heroine is human! Hurrah!
She begins to rub shoulders with her predecessor
A story of human nature, happiness, with layers of characters and many different angles and possible insights. The characters do not feel as 3D as George Eliot - more like Homo Austen than Homo Eliot of which neither are wrong

Goodness…the truck is gunna happen that what’s happening is happening and we have so much time to go

There is too much time left for this happy moment to last 😭😭 what is coming??

Alright into part 2 and it’s great, what you would want in exploring the lives of the characters after the story ends and getting to know the lesser characters better - but it feels like she is allowing the characters to be real and thus not dictating one way or another so I don’t feel like it tramples on the original or I can separate them in the right way

3 stars so far, like Theo it feels like the author is trying to convince the world of something
The world and dialogue is good, feels close enough
Even if I agree and even if I agree wholeheartedly, we cannot make it true with words, create an honest 3 dimensional character and let them live and if your hope or suspicion is close to truth, then it will be there to be found
