But I appreciated the way Frances subverts social norms of the time with the way she chooses to live her life, rather than stifling herself.Leah @ Books Speak Volumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843680530053274951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-39064764460098481702014-09-21T08:48:02.593-04:002014-09-21T08:48:02.593-04:00Interesting, Jan.

Can't she write about anything else? Your judgement is spot on. I won't be going back for more if this author's work. And honestly I wouldn't bother watching "Tipping The Velvet".

There's just *something* stopping me from being overly enthused, and maybe it's length? I DON'T KNOW. But for Alice I think we should still give Tipping the Velvet a fair go.Megshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967657695336270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-45390105516364545182014-09-17T13:00:31.176-04:002014-09-17T13:00:31.176-04:00Ok I wouldn't say SWOONED, but I did like it m...Ok I wouldn't say SWOONED, but I did like it more than you did. BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE that it's second from the last in my order of favorite Waters books.

I've slowly started to shift my BEA copy around in my pile, but I think I'm settled on picking up Fingersmith before I give this one a shot.Shannon @ River City Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024137897685829669noreply@blogger.com
