It reminded me a lot of Charles and Emma in the way that ideas about the natural world get people's religious beliefs in a knot. Makes me sigh just to read how women were treated, which is really not that different from today.

You've made me want to go take another look at the first sentence -- and maybe I'll get hooked back in. I felt lucky to read it near the ocean this summer.Jeannine Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886966069866356470noreply@blogger.com
