Oh, yes, I know! She has such affection for refugees and those in exile, but her relationship with her own Judaism seems complicated to me.

that I think it would be unwise to draw too many conclusions about her rl beliefs from that kind of thing or imagine that she expected us to take that part too seriously

Yeah, I don't take the class stuff as seriously as I normally would for exactly this reason, but there is an aftertaste of something that I just dislike. Plus, I do think the physical descriptions of her villainous characters are gross. On the whole, I'm a huge fan of her work though!

Aww, I'm sorry she didn't manage to write you more of what you wanted before she died. What a shame!
