Librarybelle Quite a lot to digest in Part 1! 2w

BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle I‘m thinking part two might need multiple posts 🤣 that was a lot (edited) 2w

Librarybelle 😂 2w

Bookwormjillk I read this not knowing what was a dream and what was real. I‘ve bailed on this book in the past, but I am determined to finish with the #HashtagBrigade 2w

5feet.of.fury Poor Coco. I‘m glad Aunt Cora is coming back. I‘m so confused with the Mason/Cosway family tree. 1w

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle it was a lot! @Bookwormjillk I know that I read this in high school, and I remember that whole 1st part, and being confused about the races/race relations & our teacher thinking we were all very stupid. Which if she‘s the teacher, teaching us & we all did not understand I think that‘s a her problem lol 1w

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury definitely a her problem! 1w

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury Mason is Antoinette‘s stepdad, but I didn‘t like her saying nee Cosway, because I always thought that was for marriage 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Clare-Dragonfly I found this quick to read but difficult to follow. If the present-tense portion near the end was a dream, were the other present-tense portions dreams? But I don‘t remember what they were anymore. I guess I‘m following the broad strokes of Antoinette‘s life, though. 1w

dabbe Rhys writes as if she expects us to know and understand all about British and French colonialism in the Caribbean and the so-called pecking order determined by how much black blood was in you. I admit to having read some study guides for this one, and it helped tremendously. I think the strange man at the end of Part 1 (that Mason alludes to) is Rochester. #oytothevey! 😳 (edited) 1w

willaful @BarkingMadRead Maybe it's one of those usages that changed? Like in Austen and other books of the time, “stepmother“ and “mother-in-law“ often seem to be switched, IIRC.

@dabbe Yes, it's frustrating! I'm confused too -- and have NO memory of having read this before, though I know I did. Too young no doubt. 1w

mcctrish I forgot what day we were meeting 🤦🏻‍♀️ this first part felt ripe with ominous vibes and while I get the white negro and black Englishman taunts I hadn‘t realized how angry they were ( although Tia not coming back with the stolen dress should have clued me in) poor Patrick ( and horse and parrot) what in earth will part 2 bring 😳 this is a wild fast ride. The mom was a piece of work but her yelling “no “ when Antoinette went to visit 💔 1w

mcctrish I am curious what was the matter with Patrick ( some kind of palsy ?) and Antoinette was ill for 6 weeks not from being hit in the head from a stone ( thx Tia) but because her mother tried to kill her?! 1w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yeah that whole part of her being sick kind of went over my head. Really crazy 1w

Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury a her problem for sure! 1w

rubyslippersreads Not only is Part One full of drama and tragedy, I feel like what happens in Jane Eyre is hanging over everything. #PoorCoco #foreshadowing #impendingdoom (edited) 1w

julieclair What a sad early life. Soooo much going on in these chapters. The noise in the bamboo had me wanting to scream “get out of the house”! And the mom‘s rejection of her… just heartbreaking. 1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I couldn't help myself I binged to the end. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig I did that days ago 🤣🤣🤣 3w

dabbe @BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig ... #ditto! 🤩😂😀 3w

willaful I was really struck by the narrator's use of “sensual“ to describe Jack, in a completely negative way. Her fastidiousness seems pathological. A murderer is fine, as long as he's refined. (edited) 3w

Aimeesue Sometimes I just want to slap Jack. Or punch him in the neck. Grrrrr. Poor Ben. He did just what Rebecca wanted, though, didn‘t he? (edited) 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Poor Ben! My Danny in the cottage theory is definitely busted 😂 I appreciate the irony that it‘s Rebecca‘s own threat that is making it difficult for Favell to prove her murder. (edited) 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @julieclair Agreed. Most likely pregnant with Jack‘s child, or at least she believed it was his. 3w

Roary47 @Crinoline_Laphroaig @dabbe @BarkingMadRead Same! I couldn‘t handle it. 🤣 3w

julieclair @5feet.of.fury 💯 3w

Clare-Dragonfly He certainly doesn‘t seem very believable. I believe him (I bet I know what she wanted to tell him) but he has no proof that Rebecca wrote that note the night she disappeared! 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @5feet.of.fury Right??!? Hmm… he was sitting with Danny… does she know about the note? 3w

Aimeesue @mcctrish Hahahaha! He really does! 3w

Aimeesue Jack is just UGH. Marry your cousin? I‘m still not over the ickiness of that. I mean, I know it was done, but yuck. 3w

willaful @Aimeesue It was pretty common in England. Fanny marries her cousin in Mansfield Park. (edited) 3w

mcctrish @Aimeesue maybe it‘s why the English had such horrible teeth 🤣🤣🤣 3w

Aimeesue @willaful Sure, back on the day, but in the 1930‘s? I don‘t think it was common then. 3w

Aimeesue @mcctrish Definitely can lead to a lot of health issues! 3w

willaful @mcctrish There were definitely some serious inbreeding problems in English history! 3w

See All 22 Comments

Clare-Dragonfly I mean, she ALSO should have told Beatrice about Danny setting her up. But let‘s be real, that was never going to happen. 4w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly and she had the perfect opportunity! Whyyyyyy did she not?!? 4w

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly YES! She should have told Max and Bea about Mrs Danvers. 4w

peanutnine She definitely should have told them about Danvers but like @Clare-Dragonfly I'm not surprised she didn't. She doesn't seem to realize that she has power over her as an employer. But she probably thought they wouldn't believe her 4w

daena Maxim is the worst! As the chapters move forward my disgust of him grows. 4w

willaful @daena I'm really feeling why the author was pissed at this being called a romance. 4w

daena @willaful totally! 💯 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig @daena same! 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig @peanutnine @Clare-Dragonfly I never under when characters don't tell what happened. I would be yelling it out. And #DreadfulDanny would be packing her bags. Honestly if she just told Bea she would have told Maxim and he would have fired Mrs D immediately. 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig ^understand. Litsy needs edit option on comments! 4w

dabbe I, too, want the narrator to snap back and have a backbone, but she just doesn't. She's terrified of Danvers (and even Maxim at times) and is so UNSURE of herself that she can't fight back. Max wanted her as Alice in Wonderland--fiitting since Alice is a complete innocent, not worldly like Rebecca or Caroline de Winter. The irony is, though, that Max is primarily responsible for Jan's loss of innocence. #sosad 😞 4w

Ruthiella @dabbe Perfect analysis! 👌 4w

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine @Crinoline_Laphroaig @dabbe @Ruthiella - I'm interested to see if Jan even REALIZES that Danny set her up. I think she is going to excuse Mrs. D with a kind of “oh she didn't know people would be upset/it was an accident“ thing. 4w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks that‘s a good point, although that creepy smile on Mrs D should hopefully clue her in! 4w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks If she does that, it will totally be a throw-the-book moment for me! 4w

peanutnine @julieclair @TheAromaofBooks omg same! Hopefully she isn't THAT naive by now 4w

dabbe @Ruthiella 😘 4w

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Agree! Jan wanted so much to believe that Danny was finally being nice to her that she had the rose-colored glasses look in her eyes. And, too true, @BarkingMadRead. That smirk and the closing of the door in the west wing should have been HUGE clues for Jan. What a scene! 4w

Bookwormjillk Jan is always being told she needs permission from the ladies in her life. Danny says she needs to ask to go into Rebecca‘s room. Bea says she must tell her the minute she‘s pregnant. Blah. 1mo

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk Agree. But if she were to assert herself, they would back down. She‘s always assuming and never asserting. 1mo

Bookwormjillk @Ruthiella so true 1mo

Roary47 My heart broke a little for Jan here. How tough to be meeting an influential matriarch in your husband‘s family. Then be told “what did you do to Rebecca, I liked Rebecca, where is Rebecca?” 💔 (edited) 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 I‘m amazed at how many people are willing to say more or less the same thing to her! 1mo

TheAromaofBooks We are caretaking my grandma right now and I really related with a lot of Jan's thoughts in this chapter, about how strange it is when someone gets old, and wondering what they were really like when they were young and vibrant. 1mo

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Those passages really resonated with me as well. 1mo

julieclair I had a sick feeling in my stomach from the moment the grandmother seemed delighted that Jan had come to visit. I was worried she was thinking Jan was Rebecca. 💔 And poor Jan, she did nothing wrong, but her very presence caused the frail old lady major distress. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Can't believe I forgot to mention my favorite line - “I had an uneasy feeling we might be asked to spend the approaching Christmas with Beatrice. Perhaps I could have influenza.“ 😂 4w

Librarybelle @Ruthiella It makes me wonder what else I have forgotten as the story unfolds. 1mo

willaful We're definitely in gothic territory now! 1mo

ElizaMarie @peanutnine @BarkingMadRead Yes ☑️ it feels like Danvers has to be exaggerating their closeness. Also. Like I get it, you cared about her, but to keep touching her things and putting flowers in her room… feels so weird to me. 1mo

julieclair @willaful Yes! This chapter has all the gothic novel vibes. And I‘m loving it! 1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig So creepy. 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly CREEPY, DANNY!!! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I am even more sure now it was Danvers in the cottage threatening Ben. She‘s creeping around being obsessed with everything Rebecca ever touched. (edited) 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I just can‘t 🤣 I can‘t imagine her with any nickname at all ☠️ 1mo

dabbe At least there's a little respite for our narrator who feels more like herself with Maxim away. She doesn't have to pretend to be someone she isn't and can just be herself--for a little while. 1mo

ElizaMarie So much mystery in this chapter!!!! I'm super intrigued! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I think it was Mrs. Danvers in the cabin threatening Ben!!! Rebecca would have no reason to keep her cabin activities a secret, and would probably think Ben is beneath her. Mrs. Danvers fits the description better and is definitely acting fishy. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly ohhhhh that‘s a really good theory and I could totally see Danvers doing that! 1mo

Bookwormjillk Jan is really reminding me of a person at work who decides that each time she has a scheduled check in with our shared supervisor she‘s going to get fired then when I tell her she‘s not she gets mad when she‘s not promoted. The stories she tells herself in her head. Cool it Jan. Max isn‘t dead just because he went to London. #DontBelieveEverythingYouThink 1mo

ElizaMarie I‘m so sad for her! To feel the way she does (inadequate). I wish she was able to talk to her HUSBAND about these things, but #AtLeastSheHasFrank. He is such a sweet man :) Also, yes “modest” has a billion different meanings. #WhatDoYouMean 1mo

dabbe I'm glad she has Frank, too, but ouch to his last line: “I suppose she was the most beautiful creature I ever saw in my life.“

Yet ... he calls Rebecca a “creature.“ I looked up the definition and found two interesting thoughts re: Miss-holier-than-thou Rebecca:
1. an animal, as distinct from a human being
2. a fictional being, typically a FRIGHTENING one.

Perhaps Rebecca ain't all she's cracked up to be. 🧐 1mo

julieclair @dabbe The word “creature” jumped out at me, too! Such an interesting word choice. What could it mean? 🤔 1mo

dabbe @julieclair Makes us want to keep reading on, right? 🤩🤩🤩 1mo

julieclair @dabbe Absolutely! Du Maurier is such a gifted writer. 1mo
