Ch 14: church, this reminded me of the second episode of LHOTP where the Rev lectures the wives because the husbands stayed home 🤣 #godunderstandsfarmers #somanycustoms #notmuchchanges #poormissellison #ripmarley #hashtagbrigade

AllDebooks Poor Marley, that was sad 😔 1mo
BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie for this book or the #hashtagbrigade as well? 1mo
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead For all of it thanks. 1mo
BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie we will miss you! 1mo
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead sorry too much going on here!!! If I can pop back in I‘ll let you know. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks I love Laura going to the “weird“ church service just for something to do 😂 1mo
mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks me too. Actually I like this book whenever Laura is mentioned, then it feels like a story and less like an accounting 1mo
willaful @mcctrish Yes, that helps. 1mo
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish you are so right 1mo
dabbe @mcctrish Bam! That's the word for this book. It's an ACCOUNTING of every single aspect of daily life. I'm close to saying #uhCOUNTmeout! 😂 1mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk what really funny is I did my reading at school today during silent reading time. I have this and my Sunday Buddy Read on my kindle and I decided I‘d knock my chapter off using the kindle app on my phone. But it was queued up to Grand Hotel and I was so perplexed as to where the German dancer came from and who was he backing into a corner 1mo
mcctrish @dabbe I mean, it certainly is a glimpse into a day in the life but my god it‘s dry as toast 1mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish lol 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - It's true!! I honestly can't decide whether or not I like this book!? But I love the more personal glimpses we get with Laura's opinions/thoughts/actions vs. the overview. 1mo
KAO I found it remarkable that there was a lot to say about the role of church (including the rector‘s practices outside of services) in this hamlet. Nowhere near this amount of detail was given about school! Then again, the actual church building was often located at the center of a village (or is that true only in Germany, Austria, and other European countries where I‘ve seen it so often?). I can imagine how the church was figuratively central too. 1mo
KAO I do agree that my interest is sparked when I get a glimpse of Laura or Edmund‘s behaviors! Or of particular background stories on occasionally introduced characters. Poor Rev. Marley! 1mo
