So, moors in the rain were kind of depressing, so I understood the bittersweet and melancholic atmosphere of Jane Eyre, even when the main character got her happy end.<br />I really was happy finding Hatchard and Daughters (it is a pity that we couldn't enter because, after visiting Bronte Museum and returning through Main street, we discovered that all stablishments were closed). I imagine that, as England is a very feminist country, it wouldn't be surprising for them although is surprising to us. Well, they have Boadicea for Queen and she burned London, so I guess they are used to women taking charge of things!<br />Thanks again!Lucia Sasakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698589553453660688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516657147976616254.post-63461145128463673572017-11-29T00:54:00.217-02:002017-11-29T00:54:00.217-02:00When my brother moved to "The South" (No...When my brother moved to "The South" (North Carolina), he said he finally could understand Tennessee Williams' plays. He said especially experiencing the heat and how the locals altered their lifestyles to accommodate it explained so much about how Williams crafted his stories. Just like your rainy England helped you understand the England's Gothic literature. This is the beauty of travel, making these connections through experience.<br /><br />It is so good to see that these bookstores thrive over there. I was particularly surprised and pleased that the one you chose to show us is Hatchard and Daughters, not Hatchard and Sons as one might expect.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.com
