Ruthiella I‘m beginning to understand why Ronnie and his mother didn‘t spend much time together previously…😳 4d
willaful Anyone else completely baffled by this chapter? It's like it was written in French. 4d

Bookwormjillk Yeah really weird 4d
Cuilin @willaful it‘s such a bizarre mother and son conversation. 3d
Cuilin @Ruthiella or this is the result of not spending time together. They can‘t communicate effectively. 3d
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 3d
Ruthiella @Cuilin Right! We don‘t anything about how they interacted previously. Was Ronald raised by nurses, governesses, boarding schools , other relatives? 3d
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. 3d
willaful @Ruthiella I'm not the best at this type of prose. 3d
