Tomorrow, it will be three weeks since the funeral. It was only the day before yesterday that I overcame the fear of writing 'My mother died' on a blank sheet of paper...

This is basically a history about French chaos and Berthe Morisot with a bit of Manet. She's an icon and I'm glad I took a break from (paused) my fantasy trend to give her some of my headspace.

Ok this is my 1st time posting while I #ReadLesMis — please tell me I‘m not the only one feeling this way reading today‘s chapter! 😤 People are so cruel and despicable. Poor Fantine.

TheBookHippie People are unbelievably cruel. I saw it often being a volunteer doula for teens for 28 years. 22h
lil1inblue Fantine broke my heart in the musical - I Dreamed a Dream made my heart ache. Her story in the book is so much more devastating. 💔 21h

JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie @lil1inblue @Cuilin @tpixie @Deblovestoread @DrSabrinaMoldenReads glad I‘m not alone! I really know nothing about this story other than the names of the main characters (saw the first 20 minutes of the movie 😳), so I‘m really looking forward to reading the rest of this. I read 5 extra chapters today 😬. Poor Fantine. The tooth thing makes me irrationally angry 😤 14h
TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 it‘s so unbearably sad. 13h

„All The Light We Cannot See“ by Anthony Doerr is a beautiful story set in tragic times weaving together the lives of a sheltered blind French girl and a German orphan boy.

The main characters' emotions and decisions in the book polarise. They navigate the moral complexities of WW2 and it‘s definitely not an easy read with the weight of that era‘s tragedies.
The ending was deeply touching, though I felt it lingered a bit too long.

I believe this happens a lot. #ReadLesMis
