Ruthiella When I first read this book, some decades ago, I was much more sympathetic to Archer…less so now for sure. 1mo
Cuilin @Ruthiella It‘s a great line. We‘re just older and wiser now. 😆 1mo
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. 1mo
Ruthiella @dabbe Totally agree. I saw May as manipulative then. Now I consider her position differently. 1mo

lil1inblue Archer leaving the carriage felt like such a tantrum. He doesn't get what he wants, so he leaves. #bigbaby 1mo
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. 1mo
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 1mo
dabbe @Ruthiella I love how our feelings about books can change over time. 🩶🤍🖤 1mo

Bookwormjillk It‘s a great line if not for the circumstances 1mo
