·         “’The meaning is quite clear-Laila is to be engaged to be married… How dare she not tell me direct! How dare she write first to Yorkshire! Pray, am I to hear through Mrs. Theobald- a patronizing, insolent letter like this? Have I know claim at all? Bear witness, dear’- she choked with passion-‘bear witness that for this I’ll never forgive her!”’	·         15	·         (R) I’ve just started this book and I already don’t like most of the characters. I’m not sure where this story is set in yet or the time but I think it must be set in a time period long ago because this woman, named Laila, is being controlled by her deceased husband’s family! And the family believes that have to control her for fear that Laila will shame the family name. I think she is in an unfair situation, but don’t necessarily feel bad for her. She seems to have a lot of problems and she is apparently creating more already!
