Aaaaaand she‘s just a little morbid. Yup, I‘m definitely more Linda than I am Felicitas.

This kid doesn‘t miss anything. I love her!!!

What a perceptive child.

I audibly gasped when I read this!!! @Centique for a highly traditional man (this guy still insists the mass must be in Latin for Pete sake) this is absolutely EARTH SHATTERING!!! Cyprian has been reformed. This book almost isn‘t really about Felicitas (well, obviously it is on the surface), but underneath the obvious, it‘s about the evolution of Cyprian/Philip.

Sorry, I far prefer the name Philip.
@Centique HE KNEW!!! HE ALWAYS KNEW!!! He saw exactly what she was doing. He knew exactly why she was the way she was. He felt is human weakness that made him allow her to continue on. It‘s kind of sad that even Cyp doesn‘t really like her company, doesn‘t really feel like she belongs to the group. Maybe if she wasn‘t such a stuck up jerk to everyone. “The child” has a name buttercup.

😢😢😢
I‘m keeping my fingers crossed that in the final chapter here, Cyp doesn‘t die. I‘m not sure I could handle it at this point.

@Centique he seems to still struggle from time to time with this long held belief that these women “who have nowhere else to go” are somehow less than, but I think it‘s their love for him, and him realising his love for them sustains him, that pulls him away from that.

This chapter became truly beautiful.

@Centique I think when he lost Frank, he felt he wasn‘t allowed to grieve, and this hurt him greatly. I think he channeled everything into Felicitas, and that made him feel guilty. I think he‘s finally realised he still gets to be human.

@Centique this is where you had the benefit of the rest of the book. He did see the women as not as good or less than, but I don‘t think he does anymore. Old Cyp is the best Cyp.
