I have just finished Part 6, so am halfway through. I was horrified at the exchange between Tony and Tom starting on page 299 where she was supposed to put up with the situation she found herself in rather than "wounding the dignity" of the family. I noted also through clenched teeth the way in which he told her she was a child. And of course that was how she was treated and therefore the way in which she behaved at times, though I was cheering for her as she stood up for herself.
I continue to be very grateful that I wasn't born into a time when women were treated in that way!
