Luke-XVX Jeanne Tripplehorn though, good lord !!! 3w

AllDebooks Lol 🤣 3w

dabbe @Luke-XVX I think it was Anne Archer, though they both look a LOT alike! 🤩 3w

Luke-XVX Haha I stand corrected! (Now I remember her from Patriot Games) 3w

mcctrish Todays chapter could have been the whole book #justsaying 3w

eeclayton At least now we know what was behind the veil. Even if it was a very WTF kinda explanation. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Right?! 😂 Also, who else was shocked that Laurentini is her first name?! I definitely thought it was a last name. 3w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s the mystery right there 🤣🤣🤣 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish The real mystery of Udolpho: Who Are These Udolpho People Who Name Their Kid Laurentini? 3w

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - LITERALLY what I was thinking when I was reading this - this is like a synopsis of all the actually interesting parts of this story that we weren't allowed to know about for some reason 😂 3w

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks I definitely think it would have been more effective if we had learned what Emily read/saw earlier on and then revealed what it all meant at the end. Explaining it away immediately after revealing the mystery made it so much less shocking as a reader 3w

TheAromaofBooks @peanutnine - I totally agree!! I think if we knew what Emily did - that there was a half-decayed body in a hidden room - EVERYTHING would have been way creepier than just “something is there“ - and then in the end we get the big reveal about it not being a real body. As it is it was just kind of - it's a body! PSYCH! The end. lol 3w

Morr_Books @BarkingMadRead Can you add me to these posts? Couldn't do last month's read due to a hectic travel schedule, but I'm all in for Passage to India! 😀 1y

AnnR Dr. Aziz seems energetic and thoughtful. I sympathize with his frustrations about not having his time valued. Meaning even if Aziz was running late, Major Callendar could have left a message for him. The chance encounter with and impetuous comments to Mrs. Moore probably will backfire at some point.

BarkingMadRead @Ann_Reads seriously, he did not think that through 1y

dabbe I've had to look up a ton of words already! There's so much I don't know about India, and I'm glad to be learning! 🤩 1y

jenniferw88 Do you want an assistant for this buddy read?! My edition has all my old annotations from AS Level, so can provide background info! 1y

dabbe @jenniferw88 Heck yes, and thank you! 🤩🤗😍 1y

willaful I'm glad this is taking the Indian pov into account; I was feeling a little iffy about it. 1y

Bklover @Ann_Reads Aziz certainly is chatty, isn‘t he? Particularly to people he doesn‘t know well. Oh, and how frustrating to be denied entrance to a place within your own country. Especially when the people inside are not from India. 1y

mcctrish I read A Suitable Boy last fall and I‘m being reminded of it already ❤️❤️ Aziz should take his time with the Major 1y

A Secret Sisterhood: The Hidden Friendships of Austen, Bronte, Eliot and Woolf | Emma Claire Sweeney, Emily Midorikawa

Chapter 2: Jane acts the part of Emma to try and help Anne‘s situation, and snags her a place on their trip to the beach…. But when Anne comes back she starts to feel worse, and then the play she wrote for the children somehow gets her fired. #theyblamedherheadaches #mansfieldparkfeels #somanyparallels #pooranne #pemberlittens #chapteraday

suvata Chapter 2: “Anne‘s voice as a writer has been forever stifled. It appears that her plays were never staged outside the schoolroom, and her scripts, diaries, and letters have never been discovered.” It‘s sad to think how many times this has happened in history. 2y
