So well written Lydia! You put so many of my thoughts down in such a clear way.

I still haven’t read the book, but I am so looking forward to it, after I read your notes about it.

I agree with you on the portrait of sexless older women. I mean, I was hoping the older woman in the brothel would have sex with Bella and just for once have an older woman on screen who has sex.

I am delighted to read I am not the only one who loved to see a disgusting man ripped apart by the relationship with a woman, and not viceversa.
