  • more a 4.5 ⭐️ re-read
*I always give full star reviews tho

important moments —
  • the discussion on interracial relationships + marriage
  • British colonialism + a history of racism
  • women’s rights + their place in Victorian society
  • spiritualism: a movement
  • the equestrian theme; omg I loved every moment
  • a male dressmaker — again, an uncommon profession for the time period
  • the prejudice of the wealthy + their unrealistic standards
  • pressures placed on women, specifically to do with marriage

p.s. ahmad malik can make a dress for me any day — slay my dude, slay 😏
