annotated edition
This was a re-re-read. I re-read it only three years ago. I went to look up my review of 2020 and was floored by tables describing my Covid-related inactivity and case statistics. It does not feel real.
Anyway, my observations this go-round included amazement that Catherine quickly saw through the artifice of Isabella’s letter towards the end of the book, after Captain Tilney had amounted to nothing and Isabella thought she might have a chance at patching things up with Catherine’s brother. She (Catherine) was such a dupe of Isabella through the entire book, in scenes where she (Isabella) was so much more transparent. It seemed odd that she so suddenly wised up.
