mcctrish What is meant by ‘pussies‘? Is this the beginning of Mean Girls? #youcantsitwithus 2mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m not sure, but it definitely gave out mean girl vibes 2mo

Cuilin So far it‘s all pretentious vignettes. Mrs. Kerr is certainly interesting. 2mo
Cuilin @mcctrish I think it just means coward. Not living life to the fullest. 2mo
IndoorDame Mrs. Kerr is definitely interesting, but so far all three of the Misses seem pretty neurotic 2mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Cuilin I consulted the Google and that seems to be it 2mo
mcctrish Thank goodness for the Google 👏🏻👏🏻😆 and yes @IndoorDame Mrs Kerr seems to hold some kind of power over all and the Misses seem lacking independent thought 2mo
mcctrish @Cuilin I‘m not sure I‘m up for a book that has women tearing each other down 2mo
Cuilin @mcctrish I want to avoid spoilers so I‘m not going to say too much but I would not summarize this book by describing it as women tearing women down. It‘s definitely about a privilege set of people post World War I. Quick review. Spoiler Alert ‼️ https://jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2017/02/01/the-hotel-by-elizabeth-bowen/ 2mo
willaful @mcctrish I've run into it a lot in Agatha Christie... Miss Marple was an old pussie. It means old, out of date, unimportant... so they think. 2mo
mcctrish @Cuilin I won‘t read the spoilers and if you say that the book won‘t be that way, just privileged people being privileged then on we go 2mo
mcctrish @willaful I will probably see it everywhere now 🤷🏻‍♀️😆 2mo
Bookwormjillk I‘m not sure what it is this book but I‘ve read two chapters and nothing is sticking in my head except people were playing tennis and now they‘re going to the library. 2mo
tpixie Well despite the controversy ( I‘m not reading the book) I love the paper doll - like display of fashion!! 👗 2mo
julieclair Mrs. Kerr fascinates me. I hope we learn her story… I‘ll be disappointed if she just remains a mysterious, magnetic woman throughout the book. 2mo
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish I think it may mean old ladies. Definitely mean girl vibes. 2mo
