Ruthiella Is anyone surprised? I know she‘s a creature of her mother‘s neglect and she has warned us repeatedly that she‘s incapable of loving another…but still it grates a bit. 2mo

dabbe She. Is. A. Piece. Of. Work. #cuntia 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly What the heck? She can‘t stand anybody to know her sorry story unless she can use it to manipulate them, I guess. 2mo

mcctrish I am so mad #cuntia #notclare 🤬 not that she dumped Roger - I knew that was coming but her bloody attitude 2mo

willaful Hmm, am I alone in thinking Cynthia did the right thing in rejecting Roger? She knew she couldn't love him as he deserved to be loved.

Now that poor Osborne is gone, the pressure will definitely be on her to try and take it back. And Molly is going to have to say something about the baby... 2mo

ElizaMarie Now Molly is gonna have to come clean about another secret she is holding on to that isn't hers!! 2mo

Ruthiella @willaful No, of course she did the right thing because he needs to fall in love with Molly! 😂 But still, her not holding him as dearly as the reader and Molly do, rankles. 2mo

julieclair @Ruthiella 😂😂Truth! Honestly, I‘m going to be so upset if he comes between Maggie and Lucy. 4mo

Leftcoastzen Lots of drama could be coming up! 4mo

Leftcoastzen I liked the fact that Maggie was direct about her sewing skills . She needed money , not just needlework projects for after dinner. 4mo

dabbe I could just feel the electricity between those two! And Lucy just sitting there being so pretty and hoping they like each other. #oy! This can't be good, can it? And now Phil's going to come over, too? #doubleoy 4mo

Ruthiella @Cuilin Mrs LM‘s energy is 100% focused on making sure her husband gets what he wants. Like he is her job. 12mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella Paris Paloma‘s “labour” comes to mind. 12mo

willaful Well damn, that\'s one of the stupid things I was hoping Sydney wouldn\'t do... 12mo

mcctrish What happens when Mr LM doesn‘t get things his way? Cuz I‘d like to see that shit storm go down! I think heels are an excuse to not talk to people as opposed to putting off people from talking to you AND I‘d like to know why, if you think people are all so wrong, you go somewhere where all these people might be? Oh right, cuz your husband is a pervy creepasaur 12mo

Bookwormjillk Happy and sad all at once is a good way to put it. 12mo

IndoorDame Every time Mrs. LM shows up in a scene I become more frightened of Mr. LM even if he‘s not there. 12mo

rubyslippersreads How did Mrs. LM extract the newspaper and give it to Mr. LM without anyone noticing? 12mo

Cuilin Plus the casual line, about Loose women in front of the wife and orgies taking place. Lol #FyodorsDepravityKnowsnoBounds Why does this character have the same name as the author? 🤔 2y

mcctrish I have to admit I am thoroughly enjoying the translated turn of phrases being used #wouldnotsaybootoagoose so you know she‘s a goner after Fyordor‘s “loathsome snigger” but the BEST is calling Grigory “an idle dunderhead” #allthewomenarenowdead😢 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've still not got Characters names straight in my head. #NeedAFamilyTreeWithCharacterTraits 2y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin right? Not exactly the kind of guy to make after yourself! @mcctrish so many fun phrases but I‘m trying not to get too attached to anyone! 2y

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig these names are the worst. Hopefully, once the story gets going, it will be easier! Russian names can be so similar, though 2y

5feet.of.fury I think I‘m already lost honestly 😅 2y

5feet.of.fury I look at everyone‘s synopsis & I‘m like “did I read the right chapter?” 🤣 2y

Cuilin @5feet.of.fury though short the chapters are full of details and events. I‘m hoping most of it is background to set the stage. I‘m marking mine as I go along in case I need to backtrack. lol 2y

5feet.of.fury @Cuilin I think I just need to figure out what is important. This is all I wrote down - “Ch 3
Wife 2- Something like a kind of feminine nervous disorder. 2nd wife dies when the boys are young. 2 other bros dumped off. “ 2y

BarkingMadRead I feel like once all of the backstory is taken care of, it will be easier for follow 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 2y

Cuilin @5feet.of.fury I use this site sometimes when I want to be sure I‘m not missing something important. https://www.litcharts.com/lit/the-brothers-karamazov/part-1-book-1-chapter-1-fyo... 2y

5feet.of.fury @Cuilin thanks! I‘m going to bookmark that just in case! 2y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin thanks for sharing!!! 2y

willaful @5feet.of.fury I hear that! 2y

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish haha my translation was blockhead. 2y

Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury same… 2y

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk dunderhead just seems more ancient Russian lit 🤣🤣 2y

currentlyreadinginCO Love that the chapter ended on a fun cliffhanger, tell us about Alyosha! 2y

Bklover Alyosha = Alexei, correct? Ivan is a very odd duck. I do remember the narrator saying that Ivan grew up to be sullen and secretive. Maybe he has an evil plan 👿 2y

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I had to know! 2y

Cuilin The more I read the more I empathize with Wilmet. She had no idea what she wants in life. As for Piers there was once upon a time, I would have been very judgmental at his work ethic but now I‘m like I hear ya. 2y

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin when he we talking about days you don‘t want to go to work, I was nodding right along! 2y

peanutnine @Cuilin @BarkingMadRead same. Too bad mental health days weren't a thing back then. I think Piers needs some help in that dept 2y

Aimeesue Would you mind adding me to the tag list? I can‘t always read along, but I do love me some Pym! (edited) 2y

BarkingMadRead @Aimeesue gotcha! 2y

julieclair Wilmet and Piers make me rather sad, aimlessly drifting through life. 2y

dabbe @julieclair I totally agree! Their lunch and walk was rather odd. It seemed like he wanted to tell her something or wanted something from her, but just couldn't get it out. Something deeper going on here. 2y

rwmg This popped up in my FB feed over the weekend - Kensington in 1951. Can you spot Wilmet or the other characters? https://www.facebook.com/BBCArchive/videos/258179253917187/?mibextid=zDhOQc 2y

julieclair @rwmg Whew! I was too busy feeling anxious to look around for Wilmet. Crossing the street looked petrifying! 😳 2y

rwmg @julieclair You can certainly see why they needed to introduce zebra crossings 2y

bthegood @rwmg fantastic find - 😄 2y

bthegood so many good lines “it was unnatural to want to acquire knowledge after working hours“ Wilmet's thoughts on people who take night classes. 😄 2y
