I have been reading Lady Audley’s Secret all last week and while it’s a fun fast-moving book, I am a bit miffed at its very Victorian attitudes to women (or the fairer sex as they put it in those times).
Here are a few thoughts on women and tea (of all the things):

and on and on…
Ugh! So glad I live in more modern times.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
So, SO glad to live in modern times. I don’t even like tea! :p
@readingtheend:disqus I like tea all right, but the expectations that surround the making and serving of it is so annoying.
It’s funny how universal it is. Even in India here, we have high expectation around this ritual. After reading this book, I now know where it came from 😀
