Bookwormjillk I think the problem I'm having with this book is that the adults just aren't interesting. The gift of Jane Austen is young adult angst not 30 somethings writing letters and talking about young adult angst. At least it's short! 1y

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm amazed at how we managed to get EVERY Austen character in this book. 1y

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig I know! Quite the stretch, it makes me head hurt sometimes 🤣 1y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! It‘s definitely missing that special Jane Austen something 1y

Morr_Books @BarkingMadRead So sorry! I am so far behind on this read. It does not feel like I will catch up before the end. These chapters feel longer than Cranford for some reason. 1y

Ruthiella When Anne Wentworth references her empty nursery, do we think her children are grown? Or did she never have any? Somehow it made me sad. 1y

mcctrish @Morr_Books some of these chapters do go onnnnn and not much happens 🤣#annisntdeadjusttouringolddutchcities #thelettersaysnoengagent #cantevenimagineitanyways #letsgetmisscrawfordtopemberley #nowwherethehelldidthecolonelgetto thinking of the song from fiddler on the roof 🎶matchmaker matchmaker 🎶 1y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 1y

willaful @ruthiella Me too. I'm not sure how much time has supposedly passed for each couple.

I thought it was vaguely interesting that, though Anne and Elizabeth aren't on first name terms, Anne refers to Frederick in her letter. I wonder what the etiquette behind that is. 1y

Ruthiella @willaful Maybe that was a boo boo on the part of the author…🤔 1y

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella I got the impression they never had children. 1y

Dream Lover | Elizabeth Berg

#bailed #notengaged
Returned Dream Lover to the Library when due. I did not get very far; kept putting it aside. Just could not get into it. Not sure why; just did not work for me. So I let it go.

DivineDiana I should wrap it up this weekend on audio. It has been a struggle but I'm almost there! However, I am interested in reading George Sand now! (edited) 7y

kspenmoll @DivineDiana That's great! I just could not muster up the energy to slog through- that's what it felt like! Reading her works probably would be fascinating- I only got as far as 2nd home in Paris, still lover # 1, & tough times with her kids when back home, etc. 7y

DivineDiana @kspenmoll So many lovers to go! 😉 7y
