Ruthiella I‘m beginning to understand why Ronnie and his mother didn‘t spend much time together previously…😳 2mo
willaful Anyone else completely baffled by this chapter? It's like it was written in French. 2mo

Bookwormjillk Yeah really weird 2mo
Cuilin @willaful it‘s such a bizarre mother and son conversation. 2mo
Cuilin @Ruthiella or this is the result of not spending time together. They can‘t communicate effectively. 2mo
mcctrish @willaful I had to go back and skim this chapter this morning because nothing stayed in my brain at all other than Kerr fell asleep 2mo
Ruthiella @Cuilin Right! We don‘t anything about how they interacted previously. Was Ronald raised by nurses, governesses, boarding schools , other relatives? 2mo
Ruthiella @willaful I‘ve only otherwise read The Death of the Heart by Bowen, but the writing in it was occasionally very hard for me to parse. I‘ve encountered lots of sentences in The Hotel that I‘ve had to read multiple times. 2mo
willaful @Ruthiella I'm not the best at this type of prose. 2mo
rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella @willaful I‘m glad I‘m not the only one. 2mo
julieclair @rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella @willaful I‘m struggling with it, too. Plus I‘m behind. 😩 1mo
rubyslippersreads @julieclair @Ruthiella @willaful I finally just pulled off the bandaid and finished it. 😏 1mo
