I love this quote about Bathsheba and Gabriel. I've never noticed it before, but it struck me when I re-read FFTMC recently.

 New on the blog: #CycleTour2023 is getting real.

Also, friends, I understand that not everyone is a cycle touring [let's call it] aficionado. If you don't want to read my missives about this cycle tour in particular or cycle touring in general, feel free to mute the appropriate hashtags. I won't be hurt (much).

A fiercely independent woman gets three wedding proposals, which increasingly don't consider her own feelings. Ununderstably she chooses the last of the three and then to her shock is unhappy. Ok, that's just my gripe with these kinds of stories. I like how she is portrayed as independent and how she remains so and how Carey Mulligan makes her a full character that you believe in (choices of men aside).
