Gosh, I know, a biography would be so interesting! I read the stuff about her dad and the fertility stuff the other day and my jaw dropped! Apparently she had hundreds of half-siblings! What a wild world!
But yes, I'm with you on the thing where Ibbotson is *so compassionate*, up until the point where you notice the limits of her compassion.
This is such a good way of putting it! Exactly this!
And the psychologist lady in *Madensky Square* who is Insufficiently Feminine and has facial hair! >:-( But her flaws are more noticeable because the rest is *so good*...
Yes yes to both of these observations!
(who for the most part can defenestrate themselves as far as I'm concerned)
Lol. She has such a 20th century view of what romance is and it really shows!
I really like her setups, but then I want more self-actualization and less romance.</i.
Yup. She should have taken a note from L.M. Montgomery's book and focused more on her heroines.
