mcctrish I think Charlotte did help #theleastshecoulddoafterthelavishmuddle 1y
Ruthiella @mcctrish Agree! A little sad Mr. Beebe wasn‘t on board, but I can also understand his frustration at being used. 1y

mcctrish @Ruthiella his reaction seems over the top to me but I think the main point is George and Lucy are so meant to be ( unlike the fiasco ) they don‘t need approval 1y
dabbe Get over it, Mr. Beebe and Lucy's family! Reach a little more into that 20th century! 🤩🤣🤩 1y
Bookwormjillk I thought that chapter was really sweet. I think Charlotte helped too. 1y
Clare-Dragonfly I found the ending unsatisfying 🤷🏻♀️ I think Forster skips over stuff I‘d like to know more about and extends stuff I‘d rather get through quickly. 1y
Morr_Books I absolutely loved this book and enjoyed all the comments y'all made throughout. In the last chapter, I thought the dialog with the Italian was a weird way to tell the audience that they were married. Also, I too believe Charlotte helped (aka redeemed herself a bit). 1y
Bklover I would love to have seen a bit more of the in- between part. I loved this book, but it ended so abruptly. And I really can‘t see why everyone‘s so angry about them. If her mother loves her, wouldn‘t she want her happy? Oh, and I like how she mentioned coming in to her money next year, so we don‘t have to picture them poor 😉 1y
Bklover Oh, has anyone read the appendix? Apparently Forster wrote an appendix in 1958 telling what happened “after”. I just read the summary. Didn‘t like it. It said only some versions of the book contained the appendix. 1y
eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover I agree. Just like the missing Rome chapters earlier, we go from denial to poof-they-are-on-their-honeymoon. That said, I did enjoy the book, I just think some more chapters could have been added. 1y
julieclair I don‘t think Charlotte actually helped, but rather chose not to hinder. And I would have liked to have learned more of Charlotte‘s backstory. 1y
