cont.
you know that at this time in history for her to be hiring herself out as a nurse meant that she was low income and probably had little family. She must have thought she had fell in the honeypot...living in this fine house (sleeping with this hubba hubba man) and when it started falling apart, she held on with all her claws...taking her frustration out on Alexias...
how she must have dreamed that her circumstances had changed. My bet is that she was so desperate to hang on she pushed Alexias's father away....you men don't seem to care too much for 'desperate'... :laugh: ;)

--- Quote from: Zander on January 10, 2007, 07:59:49 am ---One thing about all her books is that they "feel" real, like she's personally experienced these things, her Bagoas character was tremendous and she really can get you hot for the guys described! The only thing that irks me is that most of the characters portray this concept of "greek love" where the sexual attractions are broadened to include both male and female. She doesn't really write about any truly gay male / female only characters - or is my memory slipping ::)

Hey Zander!
Welcome! Good to see you here. Grab a copy of "The Last of the Wine" and join our Mary Renault Book Club. We're only up to chapter 2, so you haven't missed a lot.
(Aside to Jess - Gad, we're only up to chapter 2 and have already filled eight pages!!!) :o
