Subject: Thanks for getting us started, Jane!
In reply to: Jane 's message, "I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to start this one off with a general comment. Not to criticize, you all know how much I love everything about the books, what we see certainly makes for wonderful reading. Still, I am thinking that aside from family, meaning Bree and Marsali, the only good long sustained female friendship Claire really had was with Mother Hildegarde. The others Geillis, Malva, Mrs. Bug and even Jenny all turned against her in the end. What must herself think of women? I can't help but think of how relieved Claire was to leave the women and their petty arguments behind when she went off to live with the discomforts and downright horrors of war with the men. How much Bree wanted to escape from the horrible women in the household in "Spawn of Satan". Hey, I love men too, but they aren't the only ones that can make long standing friendships and treat each other with honor and respect." on 06:27:34 01/21/08 Mon
