AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead the u-turns from this aunt are making my head spin! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks she‘s exhausting! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Definitely saw Marconi forbidding the marriage coming! There is a lot of sighing and fainting in this chapter. There is no way I would be slogging through this book without the #hashtagbrigade! I *will* learn what Catherine Morland gets so excited about! (edited) 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I just realized I got his name wrong in a completely different way 😂 Montoni! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also! Doesn‘t Valancourt have a first name? He calls Emily by her name all the time but she doesn‘t use his name in dialogue. Did Radcliffe just not feel like coming up with a first name? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think they‘ve mentioned a first name? I‘m not sure! 1mo

dabbe This is the perfect kind of book for me right now. No matter how bad things are or seem to be today, I am quite grateful to not be Emily in the late 1500's with absolutely no money and no say in what she can/can't do in her life. #yikes #andyesshecrieswaytoomuch #scmb 1mo

TheAromaofBooks The aunt being like “suck it up or people will judge you for not being able to get over your completely inappropriate boyfriend“ like 48 hours ago you were totally on his team?!?! Geezy 1mo

AnishaInkspill yeah the uncle 1mo

Bklover And now they‘re both crying. And dear obedient Emily will now be ordered around by Macaroni. 1mo

Bookwormjillk I can‘t decide what‘s creepier- the sleepwalking or the vampire. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk for real. He keeps hinting that it‘s something sinister making her sleepwalk. 🧛🏻‍♀️ 2mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk that sleep walking is taking her straight to a vampire #shesbeenbedazzled why else would she get dressed up ? #vampiresonar 2mo

TheAromaofBooks All the sailors getting picked off! 😨 2mo

rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks Dracula couldn‘t make that long voyage without snacks. 🤣 (edited) 2mo

dabbe The suspense for me is always the idea that Mina has no idea what\'s going on (even though she records the ship\'s information), but we do! Usually one runs across dramatic irony in dramas, but Stoker is exemplary at this technigue since the very beginning. We know exactly what\'s going on, but the characters take forever to get a clue. 2mo

CatLass007 Finally, Tim Curry‘s narration begins! 2mo

TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - I mean, I can\'t exactly blame him. I do love me some travel snacks 😂 2mo

willaful I was expecting something horrible. I guess Sydney was too.

Kerr continues to be the effing worst. She deliberately tantalized Sydney and then tried to lure her back. Sydney went to a dark place but I\'m glad she has learned better now. Only two chapters left, perhaps she\'s safe? 😬 3mo

mcctrish Kerr is the worst @willaful and if the worst thing that happens is Sydney sees the light of her rushed marriage almost colliding with a logging truck #couldbeworse 3mo

willaful @mcctrish Yes, I think it was the right decision. But I hate the thought of Kerr feeling like she won. 🤬 3mo

peanutnine Calling it off was the right decision but I do feel bad for Milton. He seems like collateral damage in the whole affair 3mo

julieclair Sydney is a hot mess. Calling off the engagement is definitely the right idea. @peanutnine I agree about Milton… I feel very sorry for him. 3mo

Cuilin Does anybody else feel like in order to make this more palatable to a Victorian reader Ruth had to be punished in some way? Hence the hair being cut, almost like she‘s in prison???? 4mo

IndoorDame @Cuilin I think you‘re right 4mo

See All 18 Comments

IndoorDame When it says Faith switched to the informal you with Ruth and she didn‘t notice at first… is the implication supposed to be that Faith lost respect for her when she found out about the pregnancy, or that she‘s trying to make the fiction of their distant “family connection” convincing since they gave her a family name and now their reputations are on the line too? 4mo

Ruthiella I think also that Sally is protecting her naive employers. She‘s saying, “if I can see through this ruse, so will others. Let‘s make it work”. 4mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin YES!!!! This exactly. 4mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin absolutely. 4mo

AllDebooks I have read a lot of Victorian fiction and history and never heard of widows cutting their hair. I went down a Google rabbit hole and found this quite interesting 🤔 https://journalofantiques.com/features/the-evolution-of-mourning-wear/ 4mo

currentlyreadinginCO I felt that, too, and how the punishment failing to shame Ruth changed Sally's desire to punish her in the first place @Ruthiella 4mo

dabbe @Ruthiella Agree 💯. 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was skeptical that Sally dropping him could have caused his “deformity” but I searched Wikipedia for “hunchback” and it *can* be caused by trauma! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyphosis 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly @IndoorDame I read it as Sally using the formal “you” with her employers—the Bensons, not Ruth—when they arrived, but as she got comfortable again, switched to the informal “thou” she is used to. I don‘t think she switched pronouns with Ruth. 4mo

IndoorDame @Clare-Dragonfly oh, makes sense. Thanks 4mo

mcctrish “Men on the other hand weren‘t expected to follow the rigid mourning rules” @AllDebooks the world really hates women! Imagine if we didn‘t just want equality and autonomy and decided to get even 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly @AllDebooks Fascinating, thanks for sharing! I‘d heard of deep mourning and half-mourning but somehow I‘d missed the existence of second mourning! 4mo

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly Interesting... I was skeptical too. 4mo

willaful @Ruthiella Also a good point. 4mo

julieclair Such an interesting article, @AllDebooks ! Thanks for sharing. 4mo

A Bride's Story, Vol. 1 | Kaoru Mori

Love how she's portrayed as "old..." she's 20. ?

Times sure were different back then. Between reading this and Clan of the Cave Bear, I'm pretty damn grateful to be around in this day and age and not when it was normal for 11-13 year olds to have children/get married. #yikes
Also, guy calling her "old" looks to be in his 70s, which makes absolutely no sense ?

Side note: the artwork is absolutely stunning.

Aimeesue The Bertha thing is so creepy. NO ONE likes the name Bertha as a lovely and mellifluous name. Liar. (edited) 7mo

BarkingMadRead @Aimeesue it is 💯 messed up. So gross and super passive aggressive 7mo

Aimeesue @BarkingMadRead so controlling. Red flag! Red flag! 🚩 Sigh. Too late. 7mo

Bookwormjillk I keep confusing Rochester with Max DeWinter. We keep reading about these messed up men who believe themselves to be victims. 7mo

Librarybelle I was so confused when the narration kept changing. Admittedly, this one is a bit of a struggle for me…I feel like I‘ve not found a good rhythm yet with the writing, and we‘re near the end! 7mo

mcctrish @Librarybelle I keep wondering if I‘m the crazy one because WTF is happening 7mo

5feet.of.fury The Bertha thing, separating her from Christophine… husband is a creep. Wish the zombi got him 7mo

mcctrish @Aimeesue Bertha is brutal 7mo

5feet.of.fury @Librarybelle yeah, I do not get this one. I read through 2 pages & had no idea whose POV or what had happened. 7mo

Librarybelle Glad I‘m not the only one, @mcctrish @5feet.of.fury 7mo

IndoorDame @Bookwormjillk This actually does remind me a bit of Rebecca in the sense that all of the characters are unreliable, but there‘s still something about all of them that draws you into their worlds when they‘re the ones talking, and the whole place is intoxicating and bordering on fantastical. 7mo

willaful I continue to have no memory at all of having read this.

I'm furious and disgusted with Rochester. He's totally yellow-wallpapering Antoinette. 7mo

willaful @Bookwormjillk yup! 7mo

Clare-Dragonfly I still don‘t get why Richard wanted Antoinette to marry Rochester so badly. She had plenty of money, she could have lived independently! @IndoorDame Yes, I was also reminded of Rebecca, and you‘ve articulated why very well! 7mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder if he just didn‘t want to feel responsible for her anymore? She would have been fine by herself, I don‘t know why he felt the need to marry her off 7mo

julieclair I am so disappointed in Rochester. He used to be one of my book boyfriends, but now he‘s off the list! 7mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I totally agree. We have to call her something 🤷🏻‍♀️ poor thing never has a name, although we know it‘s a pretty one and also unique. Super helpful. 8mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead I‘ve often wondered what constitutes a “unique” name for a white woman in England in the 30s 8mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame probably something so chill now 8mo

Ruthiella Her name is Jan Brady, forever doomed to be overshadowed by Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! I mean, Rebecca. 8mo

IndoorDame @Ruthiella 👏👏👏 Sold! call her Jan 🤣 (edited) 8mo

Ruthiella Also, it‘s so awkward when your first date is an attempted murder/suicide! 😱😆 8mo

CatLass007 @Ruthiella You have a wicked sense of humor! I like that in a person. 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella 🤣☠️🤣☠️ 8mo

BarkingMadRead Omg @Ruthiella #janbrady FTW 8mo

Bookwormjillk Jan 😂 🏈 8mo

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella Jan is perfect! 8mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I need to find a book about gardens in DDuM books. "The daffodils were in bloom, stirring in the evening breeze, golden heads cupped upon lean stalks, and however many you might pick there would be no thinning of the ranks, they were massed like an army, shoulder to shoulder. On a bank below the lawns, crocuses were planted, golden, pink, and mauve, but by this time they would be past their best, dropping and fading, like pallid snowdrops.⬇️ 8mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig The primrose was more vulgar, a homely pleasant creature who appeared in every cranny like a weed. Too early yet for bluebells, their heads were still hidden beneath last year‘s leaves, but when they came, dwarfing the more humble violet, they choked the very bracken in the woods, and with their color made a challenge to the sky....People who plucked bluebells from the woods were vandals; he had forbidden it at Manderley." 8mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig So many flowers in this Chapter. I highlighted so many. 8mo

Roary47 @Ruthiella I love it! Jan is who I will imagine her to be. Plus we don‘t know her actual age either. Are they on a date showing she‘s older than a child? 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Roary47 I get the idea that she‘s an adult, but maybe a bit younger than Max 8mo

Ruthiella @Roary47 I am reading a bit ahead. I think in chapter five it‘s confirmed she is 21. 👍 But Maxim is “old enough to be her father”, so 35 to 40 years old, I imagine. 🤔 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, the descriptions are so vivid and wonderful! I can see the flowers so clearly! 8mo

Bookwormjillk These chapters are long but they don‘t feel like it. 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I totally agree! 8mo

Graciouswarriorprincess @Crinoline_Laphroaig These descriptions are so vivid! 8mo

julieclair I am really appreciating du Maurier‘s beautifully descriptive prose this time around. I don‘t remember noticing it as much the first time I read this. 8mo

ElizaMarie I agree with “Jan“ as her name for now... But wouldn't it be wild if her name is Daphne? I mean, if I were an author, maybe I would name a character after myself and then say how beautiful the name is repeatedly. 8mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s a brilliant point! 8mo

currentlyreadinginCO I was wondering that, too! @TheAromaofBooks . I wonder how common the name Fyodor was at the time ... I feel like there are never that many Russian first names in novels and so it might not be that odd to have a namesake character? 11mo
