so-so

Alice looks how I feel after finally finishing this book! I have to say, I didn't love it. While I enjoyed some of the character story lines I found most of the writing tedious and slightly rambling. I can appreciate it as a classic but not one of my favourites. #classics2020 #catsoflitsy #lesmiserables #readlesmis2020

Les Miserables (Illustrated) | Victor Hugo

“Mlle Baptistine was tall, pale, thin and gentle, a perfect expression of all that is implied by the word 'respectable': for it seems that a woman must become a mother before she can be termed 'venerable'.“

Mlle Baptistine is M. Myriel's younger sister, and I picked this quote since it seemed somewhat interesting.

sheshedbooks Good writing, I think. No mention of female body parts but it still creates in us an image or a silhouette of how the woman is. 5y

hungrybird Yes, I think so, too. And she seems to be very supportive of her brother, whom she also respects as being her bishop. 5y

hungrybird @greenreads Oops, I forgot how I can reply like this with the app instead of just leaving a separate comment like I did above. I guess I should be using Litsy more often. 5y
