AnnR The first chapter was unexpectedly lovely. I'm so glad there was no drama. 1y

Bookwormjillk Short and lovely! Just what the doctor ordered after Vanity Fair! 1y

julieclair Please add me to the tag list. Thanks! 1y

Daisey I enjoyed listening to the first chapter on my way to work this morning. Also appreciated the tag as I couldn‘t remember if I officially signed up for this one or not. 1y

julieclair The two halves of Chandrapore sound very different. Beautifully done descriptive writing. If all the chapters are this short, I should have no trouble keeping up! 😆 1y

Cuilin I have the same copy!! 1y

mcctrish @julieclair I agree on all counts. School starts on Tuesday and I‘m in a panic over how many chapter a days I‘ve thrown my name in for 🤦🏻‍♀️ how the heck did it become September so fast 😆 1y

julieclair @mcctrish I'm in the same boat with chapter a days. But they are all so much fun! 1y

Bklover @julieclair I agree! One half sounds awful! 1y

eeclayton I think I'll sit this one out after all. I'm quite overwhelmed with work and haven't even finished Vanity Fair. I'll rejoin you in October, but until then can you remove me from the tag list, please? @BarkingMadRead 1y

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I got you! We will see you in October! 1y

eeclayton @BarkingMadRead Thank you ☺️ 1y

mcctrish I am thanking the goddess for Becky, I‘m sure Amelia is lovely but that letter re.graduation 🤢 from finishing school 🙄#teambecky 2y

Cuilin I‘m holding out a little on Becky. I mean throwing a book away. However I like her sass 💁‍♀️ 2y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin 🤣🤣 I mean, it was a dictionary 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

dabbe I hope that every time I see Amelia's name, I'm not going to think “Bedelia“ in the back of my mind. She seems too Pollyanna-ish to me. I laughed out loud at the audacity of Becky tossing the dictionary out the window! 📕 2y

julieclair Becky is going to be quite entertaining! 2y

Bookwormjillk Lol #Teambecky here too. 666 pages 🤣 2y

willaful Chapter one makes me wonder if Frances Hodgson Burnett was inspired a bit by this. The sister schoolmistresses are very similar to those in A Little Princess. Also some name similarity, though the characters are very different!

Little Princess

Bklover @willaful I see what you mean. Now I‘m going to drag out The Little Princess. 😉 2y

Bklover I‘m already getting attached to Becky. I was feeling sorry for her until the departure scene, when I realized she can quite take care of herself. I did feel a bit sorry for Jemima, though, as she risked her sister‘s wrath to sneak Becky a dictionary! 2y

Bklover @dabbe I do love Amelia Bedelia! Remember when she was camping and they told her to go pitch the tent and she threw it over a cliff?! 😂🤣 2y

Bklover I think I‘m a chapter behind already- didn‘t realize we were doing two a day! Will go catch up right now. 2y

eeclayton I'm with @Cuilin on this one. Becky will definitely be an interesting and entertaining character to watch, but whether she's likeable, we'll see. 2y

SamAnne Oh I want to join! 2y

Cuilin @willaful I thought this. I kept seeing Maureen Lippman and Miriam Margoyles as they played the sisters in the tv adaptation of The Little Princess. 2y

BarkingMadRead @SamAnne I will add you! @Bklover yes, two chapters a day so we will finish this month! 2y

Cuilin @eeclayton keeping an 👁️ on Becky. #havemydoubts 2y

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I think she will keep things interesting!! 2y

JamieArc I was “meh” after 25 pages and lots of footnotes but then she threw the dictionary and I was like “Okay, I see you. I can get with this.” 😂 2y

BarkingMadRead @JamieArc I feel that in my soul 2y

Morr_Books I do feel a bit less disturbed by this family, but I am getting the feeling like Agnes isn't happy here either. Thoughts? 2y

TheBookHippie @Morr_Books I had the same thoughts… 2y

See All 15 Comments

Bookwormjillk Agnes is quiet quitting these kids. They‘re not treating her like she thinks they should so she‘s doing the bare minimum. 2y

Ruthiella @Morr_Books @TheBookHippie Same. Not as overly sadistic as the first family, but still quite selfish and dismissive. 2y

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk yes exactly!!! 2y

TheBookHippie @Ruthiella Agree. Seeing her as less than.. 2y

willaful I'm finding myself a bit dissatisfied with Agnes. There doesn't seem to be a lot to her. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Morr_Books I totally agree! @willaful she definitely needs to grow a personality 2y

mcctrish Her arrival after that arduous journey was a complete non-event! And I totally agree @Bookwormjillk quiet quitting! 2y

julieclair @willaful I agree. I really want to like her and be supportive of her, but she keeps disappointing me. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I think she‘s doing what she can, which isn‘t much… but she also never advocates for her own needs whatsoever, and then resents that they ignore her needs, which is annoying. 2y

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly it's not so much her (unsurprising) passiveness, but the feeling that she's very bland, nothing there but virtuousness. However, the next chapter has some actual dialogue between her and one of her charges and I feel she's come more alive. I hope it continues. 2y

dabbe Yet the older daughter comes to like/accept/put up with her. There must be something to Agnes, right? Right? (edited) 2y

AnnR I think Agnes is consistent and maybe a good listener, even if her personality isn't terribly exciting. The parents probably aren't terribly interested in listening to their children's chit-chat. 2y
