This season of ‘Dearest Gentle readers’ has all my heart. The tug of war Penelope faces in accepting herself as the ‘Lady Whistledown’ coupled with brilliant writing (often labelled as gossip), and the fact that writers are/ were mostly socially inept touched the heart in many subtle ways.
“So you’ve come to my hiding place. Welcome. Although typically only abject failures and social outcasts are allowed.”
-Penelope Featherington
Bridgerton season 3, episode 3, “Forces of Nature”
Brilliant writing has a way of thumping its way right into the soul. I envy people who can communicate with immaculate clarity in direct ways without imagining the repurcussion it may have on the listener. It makes life and mind sorted. Eloise is my favourite character of the lot. A reader, sharp-tongued and speaks her mind.
What about you? Who is your favourite?
