The way I went “Ew”

"If she said, yes, I do, she was a conceited harpy. If she shook her head and rebuffed the compliment, she was falsely modest, playing coy. It was fae-like trickery. There was no answer that wouldn't damn her."

wow we are coming out of the gates strong with some classic "damned-if-she-do, damned-if-she-don't" misogyny

🤨 Does he seriously think he can sweet talk her into accepting his request?

I was just informed that the book has an underlying theme and clash of the Israel/Palestine conflict (it's genocide!! my wording comes to the theoretical side of the ideologies) The author often gets inspired and uses her voice to call out the power imbalances in the voices of academics and scholars and their importance tied to their own political beliefs.

Separate from how the book goes I am very interested in looking for the conversation about the matter

Well..today I learned that rats eat mice? I had no idea rodent-on-rodent crime was such a problem.
