willaful Soooooo depressing! Damn Victorians! 2mo
rubyslippersreads I knew it was coming. There was no other way Ruth could atone for her “sins” in a book written during this era. 😠 2mo

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish Boys will be boys. 🤬 2mo
mcctrish @rubyslippersreads argh that saying infuriates me 2mo
AllDebooks Not the ending we hoped for, but all saw coming. 🙄 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 2mo
rubyslippersreads Someone needs to write fan fiction where Donne dies a horrible death, but not before being publicly shamed. 😏 2mo
dabbe See? Just like Puritan philosophy. You died, so you must not be a witch. I mean whore. Whatever. I wish she had done to Donne what Tess did to the D'urberville dude. 😭 2mo
Aimeesue @rubyslippersreads Yep. Still made me very sad though. 2mo
julieclair Yup. Gaskell went there. As we all suspected she would but hoped she wouldn‘t. 😭 2mo
IndoorDame I was so mad about the sermon at her funeral! She can be absolved and go to heaven, but only after she‘s died to pay for her crimes!? (and spent a dozen years living a ridiculously saint like life). WTF is that!? 2mo
