“Sometimes she wondered if he came to her hoping for some help that he never received…She shrank from bringing pressure to bear on them in any way or obtruding on their privacy…they wanted help and advice, and she had none to give…Her thoughts went to Mrs. Wilhoughby. She can give people advice. I’d be better if I had more of her in me…And perhaps she’d be better if she had more of me in her…” (218)

“And the Wilhoughbys amuse her. She likes to see them in action” (116).

So amusing! Seriously so hard to put this book down…

Whoa this is unexpectedly hard to put down. Mrs W is very much like Mrs Ferrars in Sense and Sensibility with the way she exerts control over her children. I have strong feelings about the characters already.
