Wuthering Heights | Bronte Emily

@IndoorDame so… most of my copies of this book are in a double or triple or all inclusive Bronte leather. These are my stand alones. I did have more but a girl we mentored loved this book so I gave her some copies. For students that have to read this for high school I always give them the puffin one that is purple, for me myself the Barnes & Noble dark green purple with yellow lettering is my favourite.

IndoorDame Beautiful 🤩 thank you! My Jane Eyre is actually the sister edition of that one with the woodcuts, but I happened to find it used and super cheap so I never got the other. I‘ll look these up but I‘ll definitely especially check out the B&N. I‘ve read this often enough that I want a readable copy. 7h

Life slowing down
Zorrie resting more and seeing friends who passed before

Interesting way to end the book?

♥️a link to crabapple blooming from Sarah @Sargar114 ♥️

https://www.littletonco.gov/Community/Visit-Littleton/Parks-and-Trails/Trails-in...

Librarybelle This whole book has been beautiful. We saw Zorrie‘s beginning, and I think it‘s a fitting way to end the book with her quiet final days. 14h

IndoorDame I thought the ending had a beautiful symmetry. I glanced back at the opening scene and was reminded that it opened with her in the daybed, needing to slow down, but the beginning is dreamless and alone and at the beginning she says she doesn‘t like dreaming. In the end her visions are filled with all the people she‘s learned to care about along the way. 14h

vlwelser This is a very slow and satisfying book. It's beautifully written. It's just a normal life with nothing truly overly dramatic. Or maybe she's the one that's not overly dramatic. 14h

See All 13 Comments

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame it was a beautiful circle. 13h

TheBookHippie @vlwelser I was pondering that myself. It‘s her I think. 13h

vlwelser It's her. When you think about it, there is actually a lot going on here. But she pulls you into her nbd attitude. And the author is sort of brilliant for presenting it this way. 13h

mcctrish @vlwelser it is all those things. It‘s comforting too, a beautiful life doesn‘t have to have drama 13h

mcctrish @Librarybelle I loved the circling back within the book, circle of lifing, confirming/re-emphasizing points again 13h

kspenmoll Wonderful life, full circle. @vlwelser a brilliant book,yes. A life of an every day woman. @IndoorDame thanks for reminding me of how the book opened, and how she ended up in the end. The aloneness in the beginning, the love she gathered from connecting with others, no longer alone , along her lifetime. 13h

Karisa @IndoorDame @TheBookHippie Yes! Beautiful in its symmetry, simple, and elegant. It works so well, a true testament to the writer‘s talent. 13h

DebinHawaii It is a quietly beautiful book about life and resilience. 💙 I‘m really glad we read it. 11h

Sargar114 Agree with everyone, such a beautiful book and definitely can see the symmetry. I‘m just astounded how our said so much with so little. 10h

mollyrotondo I love that it ended with a little spiritual touch. I feel like that was showing she was getting ready to die and meet those souls beyond. Really beautiful. 2h

Seeing the place her husband died…

Closure?

Librarybelle I think it‘s a form of closure for her. She needed this. I was a little surprised she went, but was glad for her that she did. 14h

IndoorDame I was impressed with her hopping a spontaneous international flight! Closure is so elusive, but maybe after all those years it was a form of renewal? 14h

vlwelser I loved this part. After her younger self never even made it to Chicago. 14h

See All 11 Comments

mcctrish This part just exemplified how Zorrie continues to grow and evolve and take risks. To quote Ted Lasso badly “she‘s curious, not judgemental “ she‘s always looking at things from other angles whereas Noah wears blinders 13h

kspenmoll This journey took me by surprise but it was such a wonderful experience to watch her expand her world, grow & change. Agree with @IndoorDame , it felt like a renewal, a yes to life 13h

Karisa @mcctrish Love Lasso! Going to miss having new episodes so much. 13h

Karisa @Librarybelle I was surprised too but loved this twist! 13h

DebinHawaii I was surprised & happy she went. Closure with Harold in a sense but also a chance to escape a bit & see more of the world. 11h

Sargar114 So shocking, but loved it. Agree with everyone it did seem like a bit of closure. 10h

mollyrotondo I was so happy she made this trip. She needed to explore the world a little bit outside that farm town, get some closure and peace, and she made a nice friend in that young woman from the plane. So lovely for Zorrie. 2h

Sheriff asks Zorrie to watch over Noah
Which she does with so much food
The descriptions!!! Yum.

Noah
Rejects Zorrie
“My heart is the same as an upside down flame.”
He loves Opal, still.
He makes her a glass bird
….

Sigh

Librarybelle I think this shows the strength of Zorrie. We know she has feelings for Noah in the subtle phrasing of passages throughout the book, but she‘s willing to help Noah and keep him safe, however she can. 14h

IndoorDame Food as love is so universal. It works well here where no one speaks. 14h

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame my mantra FOOD IS LOVE. 14h

See All 13 Comments

vlwelser All that food! You must have been in your happy place with this. 14h

mcctrish I LOVE how this story circles back and confirms your feelings. We knew she loved him. And Noah can‘t stop loving Opal, or is he afraid to because hope of her getting better is how he‘s survived for so long he can‘t quit now or be the reason she relapses 14h

kspenmoll She was pouring so much love and hope into her cooking for Noah. It was so sad when Noah could not return her feelings. 13h

Karisa I kept thinking it was too bad she couldn‘t have returned Hank‘s feelings. Zorrie and Hank would have been so well suited. He would‘ve taken care of her as much as she does for others. Noah was not really there—stuck in the past and losing his parents seemed to send him over the edge. So sad all of it 13h

DebinHawaii I said in the previous question that I don‘t think Noah is capable of more of a relationship than he has with Opal so he would never have let Zorrie in. 12h

DebinHawaii And yes, food is love when & when you don‘t have the words. The food descriptions were excellent. I felt so sorry for Zorrie here. 12h

Sargar114 This too was very sad. She cares for Noah in a way he could never return and she knows that but kudos for trying. I agree @Karisa Hank seemed like a good fit. 10h

CoffeeNBooks @Karisa I agree that Zorrie and Hank probably would have been a good match. 7h

mollyrotondo Noah was rude to Zorrie I felt. She was bringing him all this food and eating with him and he would just sit there or he would get angry over things and yell over whatever. There is no way Zorrie would have been happy even if Noah accepted her advances. 3h

TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo Yes. Brooding and rude. She is a saint. 3h

A fire
Noah‘s trying to get to Opal..
Is he a little off or desperate?
Opals real story we get at last …
Interesting ?

Librarybelle I think Noah was desperate. I cannot imagine being cut off from a loved one, without the ability to see them, though knowing that they are alive. Poor Opal. 14h

IndoorDame Opal‘s actual story is desperately sad. I can see the weight of that getting to her partner eventually and just overwhelming Noah. 14h

vlwelser I think he's a little off but too calculated to be truly crazy. The fact that he never lets this go is a bit crazy all on its own. 14h

See All 19 Comments

mcctrish In the beginning I thought Noah increased Opal‘s crazy so that‘s why he wasn‘t allowed to see her but she was good and crazy before hand. I get that Noah ( and his family) weren‘t enough to keep her from being a danger to herself and others and that‘s why Virgil called for help. Did her family want to punish Noah for that ? Or was a pen pal all Opal could handle ( which is heartbreaking for Noah) 14h

kspenmoll @mcctrish Such a good assessment of Opal, Noah, etc. this whole scenario is heartbreaking. I was happy to learn more about them. 13h

mcctrish @kspenmoll Noah is such a contrast to Zorrie‘s life and such a subtle life lesson for the reader 13h

TheBookHippie @mcctrish such a good life lesson. 13h

TheBookHippie @vlwelser it‘s a very short time to give your entire life too. To not allow yourself joy. He could have kept in contact with her and had a life … 🤷🏻‍♀️ 13h

Karisa I was so surprised by the fire—not where I thought the story was going. Noah and Opal are both so sad but in different ways. He seems to be more choosing to be stuck and what he wants from Opal is unrealistic. I guess the same could be said for Zorrie though. Noah was not capable of giving what she needed either. Bleakest love triangle ever… 13h

TheBookHippie @Karisa it‘s definitely CHOICE. 13h

mcctrish @Karisa bang on about Noah 13h

DebinHawaii @Karisa “Bleakest love triangle ever…” so true! I feel like Noah doesn‘t have the capacity for a real relationship. Did/does anyone truly know him? He seems incapable of letting anyone in. Opal story is tragic & I feel for her the most in this. 12h

TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii Opal haunted me for sure. Noah was an EH for me. 12h

Sargar114 @Karisa well put! It‘s logical in a kinda crazy way considering Opal got sent away after the fire she caused; but it seems the town knows Noah too we‘ll and even the fact that he was that logical supports how sane he can be. While he clearly struggles from mental health issues, not in the same way Opal did. It‘s quite sad. 10h

CoffeeNBooks I was glad to finally know Opal's story- it definitely helps to make sense of why Noah can't bring her home. I think Noah burned down the barn out of desperation, not knowing what else to do to get a handle on his emotions. 7h

Deblovestoread @Karisa Nailed it. Noah closed himself off but choice. Opal didn‘t have one. 4h

mollyrotondo I felt like something was definitely off with Noah. I can understand why Opal‘s parents didn‘t want him seeing Opal. He‘s unstable himself. The whole thing is desperately sad for Opal but Noah needed help too. He just doesn‘t seem mentally all there. And I‘m glad Zorrie was rebuffed by him because she really didn‘t need his weight on her. He wanted to continue to carry that weight. 3h

TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo I agree. 3h

Liz_M I read this title as “The Classic Horror“ cookbook 😳 and wondered if it was either a) recipes with lots of strawberry jam, red food coloring etc. or b) full of Midwestern 1950s meat-and-potatoes-and-boiled-vegetables 😂 5d

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean oh 😬 sorry bout that. I make and put out our schedule Oct 2023. I didn‘t catch you had it on your schedule. But please do read along.

curiouserandcurioser @TheBookHippie I read this a long time ago and loved the Shirley Temple movie:) I'm excited for this❤ 1w

BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie Oh, no worries!! I made up our schedule only a few months ago and wish I‘d thought to look at your schedule before I did.

Many. Those that stand out are those I got to listen to speak for a long time or share a meal or long conversation : Amy Lee-Tai , Jason Reynolds, Jazz Jennings, Yusef Salaam, Lindy West(had us in hysterics) I would love to meet Judy Blume ♥️.

mrp27 I met Judy Blume about 11years ago at LA Festival of books, which is coincidentally going on this weekend. 1w

TheBookHippie @mrp27 I got a signed book and note from her with my fancy copy of Are You There God it‘s me Margaret from her Fla bookshop by mail. I‘d love to meet her. How lucky you did. My friend is at the LA festival this week! (edited) 1w

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I think it‘s so essential. We for sure are getting the best experience. 🧡 1w

BarkingMadRead Lived this, it was so beautiful! 1w

mcctrish Again I agree with you @IndoorDame this really needs to be savoured and I don‘t think I‘d be doing that on my own 1w

kspenmoll Like everyone else, I feel this story, its telling & its writing is gorgeous. 1w

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll It is definitely a feels book. It‘s so beautiful. 1w

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead It‘s just so lovely. 1w

DebinHawaii It has a stark beauty to it & I have no idea what will happen, but I am enjoying the slow journey with it. 💚 1w

TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii I do love the pace of it all. 1w

Sargar114 The writing is lovely. It‘s not one I would have picked up normally, but I‘m sure glad I have. I feel like I‘m still missing a lot but couldn‘t imagine how much I would be missing without the discussions and stopping! 1w

julieclair I wonder if this book actually will have an "ending", or if it will just kind of fade off, in a "life goes on" manner. 1w

TheBookHippie @julieclair I am wondering the same thing....... it's okay with me if it just fades out but I prefer that as opposed to neat and tidy. 1w

Caves …

The aunts affect on Zorries life..

And NOW WHAT ???!

Librarybelle Looking forward to seeing how the rest goes! 1w

vlwelser Looking forward to seeing where this goes. 1w

mcctrish I found the cave thing strange, what would you say Opal is suffering from? Autism came to mind with the caves because she needed to shut out stimuli 1w

TheBookHippie @mcctrish I‘m not sure. People anywhere on the spectrum were institutionalized. I remember nursing clinical we had so many PKU patients. I wonder if it‘s something I‘m not thinking of. Women were institutionalized quicker so 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

mcctrish @TheBookHippie women sure were 1w

AmyG @mcctrish I am curious what Opal is sufferring from, too. I am also wondering if maybe she doesn‘t have schizophrenia too. Who knows? 1w

mcctrish @AmyG I don‘t know about mental illness 1w

DebinHawaii I feel like I want to know more of Opal‘s story too. It will be interesting to see how it all ends up. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Sargar114 Wasn‘t there a mention of a house fire or a suicide attempt early on and that‘s why they put her in an institution? 1w

TheBookHippie @Sargar114 House fire. 1w

Sargar114 @TheBookHippie and she set it right? I guess the question was intent and that may be hard to know 1w

TheBookHippie @Sargar114 So they say but 🤷🏻‍♀️ it wasn‘t clear why. 1w

julieclair Ruby's death.... 💔 It feels like both Zorrie and Noah are lost orphans now. 1w

TheBookHippie @julieclair And so alone!! 1w

maich @julieclair it is so sad😢 5d

mollyrotondo @julieclair I think all of the younger people in this farm town are lost orphans. Opal included. She was abandoned by her whole family. It‘s like only so many generations can withstand the weight and struggle of the farm life. Zorrie is trying but she‘s still a very emotionally isolated person. 4d

Librarybelle Part of me was surprised she visited Opal, but then a part of me was not. She‘s been curious about Opal for years, and knowing her is a way to know Noah. 1w

AmyG I found her visit to Opal surprising and quite fascinating….wondering where this leads. 1w

vlwelser I thought this was a bit creepy tbh. It seems out of character for her to be nosy like this. But I get that Noah intrigues her. 1w

See All 17 Comments

IndoorDame I can‘t decide if she just needed to satisfy her curiosity so she can move forward with Noah, or if she actually plans to go back and keep Opal as a figure in her life in some fashion 1w

BarkingMadRead This was so odd to me, I guess he was doing something nice for Noah by being nice to Opal? Still. Really weird 1w

mcctrish @Librarybelle I feel this way too and that her whole chosen family has passed away, she adding another circle to hers. Maybe to make sure Opal is happy there? I wouldn‘t doubt Zorrie would bring her home and take care of her if she wasn‘t (edited) 1w

mcctrish @vlwelser I was expecting the home to be a nightmare possibly because of Noah being banned from visiting 1w

Librarybelle @mcctrish I could see Zorrie doing that! 1w

Karisa Wow! That building is impressive and looks also oppressive. The Opal part was just so sad and knowing that Noah has only visited once! 😢 I felt like hitting him—even if he‘d been told that once you‘d think after so long he‘d say forget it! Go to see her monthly at least… Feels like he‘s just using it to justify his avoidance. I‘m sure I‘m not being fair but jeez… 1w

TheBookHippie @Karisa I felt the SAME WAY!!! 1w

DebinHawaii I wonder at her motives for visiting Opal. Does Zorrie even know what they are? I do like that she was nice to Opal. And yes, Noah not visiting in all that time is strange but it does seem like he hides from things & doesn‘t deal with them or talk about them. 1w

TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii I agree, he just shrinks. 1w

Sargar114 @DebinHawaii I wonder if some of her visit was because she cares for Noah and his family and this is someone he cares for and since his family is passing not sure who else will take care of Opal. I got the impression that Noah struggled with mental health issues, so agree @TheBookHippie shrinking is an apt description. His mom always took care of the emergencies so he doesn‘t know what to do. 1w

julieclair I was totally surprised when she visited Opal. I wonder if she will continue going to visit her? 1w

maich @Sargar114 I hought the same. She care about Noah and that is the reason she visited Opal. 5d

mollyrotondo @IndoorDame I think this as well. I can see Zorrie trying to connect with Opal because she knows Noah doesn't and for Zorrie to know about a woman that has just been left by her family would probably break her heart no matter what Opal may have done. I can't see Zorrie ignoring the Opal issue like everyone else seems to have done. 4d

TheBookHippie @mollyrotondo I‘m glad she went, maybe both women needed it. 4d

Hello ghost girl
Janie dies
The cemetery all the other girls
Still glowing
So she knows
And wonders the affects on her
She keeps the box
Doesn‘t bury it
What?!?!

Librarybelle I almost yelled at her for not disposing of the box! 1w

AmyG I wondered if that comes into play with Zorrie. Was she there long enough? Did she take enough radium? (edited) 1w

TheBookHippie @AmyG I wonder that as well. 1w

See All 28 Comments

vlwelser This part was so sad. All I can think of during the radium parts is Marie Curie. 1w

IndoorDame When she asked Marie about the miscarriages I kept wondering if Marie was trying to make her feel better, if she really hadn‘t been there long enough for it to effect her, if that‘s what they thought at the time…? I mean today they tell you not to eat raw fish and unpasteurized cheese and a thousand other things, they would definitely frown on Luna powder 1w

TheBookHippie @vlwelser Oh I do as well. It‘s on my mind during these parts. I read her daughter‘s book on her it‘s very good … 1w

TheBookHippie @IndoorDame I am wondering as well. 1w

BarkingMadRead I would have buried the box! I don‘t know if she was there long enough, but taking some with her and using it while pregnant couldn‘t possibly help 1w

mcctrish Would putting the radium in the ground on a farm actually be a good idea? I think Marie was being kind but honestly does she know? I have to think ingesting radium ended her pregnancy, did it cause all the other miscarriages 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have to say the jaw cancer absolutely horrifies me, the description of it just disintegrating 😲 (edited) 1w

TheBookHippie @mcctrish 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘ve no idea. Has to be sealed and all kinds of things correct? The sounds of the affects on all of them, so so heartbreaking. 1w

Karisa It feels horrible that the box of radium is still lurking. @mcctrish 😱 You‘re right! Burying it doesn‘t seem good either 1w

mcctrish @Karisa should have been left at the watch factory, it was almost funny how much work place theft happened #karma 😬 1w

kspenmoll Oops I resounded to this in the previous post. So heartbreaking. 1w

DebinHawaii It definitely brought all the feelings of The Radium Girls back. 😳🥺😫😭😡 I agree, I want to to get rid of the box but I have no idea how she could do that safely @mcctrish I agree burying it on the farm doesn‘t seem good. I am hoping she wasn‘t there long enough for more health issues than the miscarriages for Zorrie but it‘s hard to know with the ingesting of it. Truly heartbreaking @kspenmoll 😢 1w

Karisa @mcctrish Except for us teachers, we take things from home to bring to school🙃😂 1w

TheBookHippie @Karisa WORD. 1w

mcctrish @Karisa absolutely #nothingtostealhere 1w

Sargar114 Such a heartbreaking moment. I‘m glad she got to touch base with Marie though. 💔 1w

julieclair I couldn't figure out why she wanted to keep the box. It just made no sense to me. 1w

maich Poor girls. Why she wanted to kerp the box. She probably doesn't know how danger is radium. The most stable radium isotope has a half-life of 1600 years. Decays on Radon gas isotopes, which are also radioactive and produce radioluminescence (fluorescent glowing hues). 5d

TheBookHippie @maich It is so very sad. 5d

maich https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium 5d

maich https://www.lenntech.com/periodic/elements/ra.htm 5d

maich https://www.nrc.gov/materials/types/radium.html 5d

maich @TheBookHippie It is very sad. Poor young girls that died because of it. I shared some links about radium if someone wants to read more. 5d

TheBookHippie @maich oh thank you so much!!! 5d

maich @TheBookHippie you're welcome 4d

mollyrotondo @mcctrish I thought the same thing. Not sure burying the box would help if the box isn't properly secured so radon doesn't leak out. When I read Radium Girls, the descriptions of their jaws disintegrating was so horrifying and I couldn't imagine anyone denying the correlation between the radium factory and their illnesses. So terribly sad and frustrating. 4d
