mcctrish @willaful Ellen is all #beentheredonethat 3mo

Ruthiella When I first read this book, some decades ago, I was much more sympathetic to Archer…less so now for sure. 3mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella It‘s a great line. We‘re just older and wiser now. 😆 3mo

dabbe @Ruthiella I was, too. And as much as I love Winona, I was never a fan of May. All three play their parts in this society the way they're supposed to--on the outer level at least. Those stays are tied so tightly around them they can't be and get what they really want. What a frustrating time period. 3mo

Ruthiella @dabbe Totally agree. I saw May as manipulative then. Now I consider her position differently. 3mo

lil1inblue @mcctrish 🎯 3mo

lil1inblue Archer leaving the carriage felt like such a tantrum. He doesn't get what he wants, so he leaves. #bigbaby 3mo

ElizaMarie @Ruthiella I can see May as being manipulative, but.. I feel a lot of her behavior is justified. (But -- I never watched the movie or read the book before this readathon) - I wonder if I would be like a lot of y'all with changes in perspective. 3mo

KAO This is also my first time to read the book, and I‘ve never seen the movie. I honestly feel sorry for May, Archer, and Ellen. They all are just so very stifled at the least (or downright trapped at the most) by the society and customs of that era. I guess that‘s the point of it all. #heavysigh 3mo

dabbe @Ruthiella I love how our feelings about books can change over time. 🩶🤍🖤 3mo

Bookwormjillk @KAO same 3mo

Bookwormjillk It‘s a great line if not for the circumstances 3mo

TheBookHippie I am #hereforit as well!!!! I was legit cheering 👀😅😂♥️♥️ 2y

TheBookHippie @Morr_Books Same! 2y

TheBookHippie Also Charlotte 🤮 2y

Bookwormjillk So did Lucy fall in a hole filled with violets to find George when he kissed her? Also loved Mr Eager‘s description of tourists going from place to place just to check things off. #Dontlovehim #Buthekindofhadapointthere 2y

mcctrish Roller coaster chapter, I was legit #poorlucy this is the worst vacation ever with Mr Eager condemning tourists in one breath and pointing out where ‘people of worth‘ live with the other ( but don‘t look, you can‘t see), and Charlotte and Miss Lavish being absolute snobs about everyone “he is the image of a porter - on, on the South-Eastern” #lucyshouldjumpfromthecarriageitsthatbad BUT a kiss 💋 #hereforit #thingsaregettingspicy 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk he was too on point 🤣 also, I think she slid down a little embankment maybe? 2y

Ruthiella I loved Mr. Emerson championing the canoodling between the driver and his “sister”. “To be driven by lovers, a king might envy us…” It would be hard to be his son, but I love him in book form. (edited) 2y

Bklover Lucy‘s determination to avoid the Emersons insures that she spends time with all the snobby idiots. 🙄 Charlotte is an absolute master of manipulation. 😈 Thank goodness she wanted to rid herself of Lucy or we never would have gotten to The Kiss! 💋Oh, and someone should shove Eager off a cliff. Either that, or condemn him to live among the peasants! (edited) 2y

peanutnine This chapter was so wild and I can't wait for the reactions to The Kiss! 2y

julieclair The Kiss! 💋 Go George! #hereforit 2y

Clare-Dragonfly He KISSED her out of nowhere?! Whoa! George, not okay! Also I hope there‘s a good movie of this because I want to see this scene with all the violets. 2y

Clare-Dragonfly I see I am the only one less than thrilled with The Kiss 😂 2y

Cuilin @Clare-Dragonfly there‘s two movies, one from around 2009 and one from the 90‘s with Helena Bonham Carter. The later one is my favorite. 2y

Cuilin @Ruthiella I agree, he‘s fabulous 2y

dabbe I keep expecting Mr. Emerson to break out in poetry by Keats or Byron or Shelley; he is quite the Romantic. ❤️ 2y

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin Oh, I love Helena Bonham Carter 😍 2y

TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - I also felt like the kiss was a little abrupt 😂 2y

Cuilin @dabbe that would have been perfectly appropriate ❤️ I haven‘t been to Italy yet, but when I go, I will be taking their poetry with me. 2y
