I'm going to try to do that for February. Too many book clubs/group reads for me in January and I ended up reading them all the last couple of days in January. <br />Here depiction of Arabella is so humorous and so very sister-like!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408471966661831444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095179960585908463.post-2372908748255806172012-02-01T17:02:53.383+13:002012-02-01T17:02:53.383+13:00I absolutely loved Clarissa's duality: the jux...I absolutely loved Clarissa's duality: the juxtaposition of her "perfect" self and her admissions of her real frustrations.

Will you read the later letters corresponding to their times? (E.g, 4pm, 7pm...etc)<br /><br />I am very much enjoying how the personal Clarissa is such a fully fleshed, detailed and independent minded person, compared to the rather bland virtuous maiden she could have been (and others see her as).GrubStLodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05688293269271572695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095179960585908463.post-79630228340716704622012-02-01T08:56:05.393+13:002012-02-01T08:56:05.393+13:00I think I'm going to dive in with the Feb lett...I think I'm going to dive in with the Feb letter -- the idea is too cool.

The family dynamics has proved very interesting, too. It's too bad we have weeks to wait for the next letter...
