although always hard to know where it's actually coming from, isn't it?
Yeah, definitely. And I don't think she was a nasty person the way Heyer was probably a nasty person (if you didn't fall within the very narrow bounds of what she considered "acceptable society"--I bet she was charming if you were well-off and white and Christian). I am willing to guess that Ibbotson was lovely! But sometimes there are things that bubble up!
I feel like if I'd read her kids books at 8, I would have passionately devoted to them. It's just different when you're coming to them at, like, 23, which was when I discovered her.
