I'm enjoying this more than I did the first time I picked it up. It's very subtle the way things are revealed here. It's nice seeing Mrs. Ransome bloom and explore things outside of her stuffy, expectation-riddled life. These characters have lived what they and their acquaintances perceive to be a "proper" life that they haven't developed into people... yet. It's like they were robbed of their illusions.
